Armenian Eggplant Dip Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 medium egg plant 1/4 cup chopped red onion 1/2 cup milk 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp flour 1 salt and pepper to taste 1 freshly grated nutmeg - to taste 3 oz parmesan cheese
Recipe
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Prick eggplant with a fork in 10-12 places and rub with olive oil. Bake uncovered for about an hour, or until the pulp feels quite soft. Scoop out the pulp and place in a small saucepan. Add lemon juice and cook over medium heat until the water has evaporated - about 5 minutes.
Saute the onion in butter. Blend enough of the flour in to make a thick roux, then add milk slowly to form a thick sauce. Beat lightly into the eggplant. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the Parmesan cheese and a few drops of warm milk if dip is too thick.
Store overnight in the refrigerator but bring to room temperature before serving with crackers, bagel chips, or strips of crisped pita.

Dieting tips
If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The argument against low carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is really safe for you?
Reducing carbs could mean missing out on essential nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, in particular those provied by vegetables, grains and fruits.
Higher consumption of animal-based products might lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which many authorities believe will increase the probability of heart conditions.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, mangos and winter squash)
These colorful foods are rich in carotenes thought by doctors to play a role in helping prevent cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach and lesophagus. Many also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet.
