Ingredients:
1 eggplant Eggplant
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1/8 tsp Salt and pepper
6 leaf Basil, fresh (chopped)
Instructions:
- Wash your eggplant and pat dry. Take a fork or toothpick and pierce the eggplant all over, several times in order to release the steam from the eggplant in the microwave.
- Place the whole eggplant (do not cut it) on a plate and put it in the microwave for 7 minutes on full power (900 watts). After 7 minutes in the microwave, the eggplant will begin to collapse. Turn the eggplant over on the plate and put it back in the microwave for an additional 3 minutes.
- When the eggplant is done, remove it from the microwave and let it cool a bit. Once cooled, cut the stem-end off and cut it in half, lengthwise. Open up the eggplant, skin side down.
- Drizzle the inside of the eggplant with olive oil and lemon juice. Top with basil and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
