For the eggplant: Preheat oven to 350u00b0F Lightly grease a baking pan with a little of the olive oil. Slice eggplant into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick and remove skin. Lightly dab with lemon juice to discourage discoloration. Place slices side by side in baking pan, and brush the tops with the remainder of the olive oil.

Remove from oven, allow to cool to room temperature, then roughly slice and/or mash the eggplant into small fragments.
