Mashed Eggplant With Capers, Scallions and Parsley

Summer is the perfect time to adopt the Mediterranean custom of serving savory little room temperature dishes for casual nibbling, referred to as mezze throughout the Middle East. An assortment of mezze can precede a larger feast, served as appetizers, or you may make an informal meal of mezze, picnic-style, indoors or out. This lemony Turkish-style eggplant dip fits the bill beautifully, spread on baguette toasts or crisp pita bread.
