INSTRUCTIONS
1. Halve the eggplants lengthwise, score with a knife, and sprinkle lightly
with the kosher salt. Cover with a heavy plate and weigh down the plate to
press out the moisture for 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Oil a baking sheet.
3. Squeeze out any excess water from the eggplants. Place the eggplant
halves, skin sides up, on the baking sheet. Bake until the meat is
completely soft, 35 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4. When cool enough to handle, skin the eggplants. Chop the pulp and tie in
a large square of dampened cheesecloth. Let hang above the sink or a bowl
until most of the liquid has drained off, about 15 minutes.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, mustard, and
salt and pepper. Add the eggplant pulp and stir to mix. Cover and
refrigerate for 1 day before serving.
