Eggplant Caviar

"Adapted from my local newspaper as a replacement for the too expensive Beluga caviar. I don't personally like caviar, but my husband does. If you can't find Greek yogurt, you can strain regular yogurt through cheesecloth until it is thickened and almost cheese-like."

1 large eggplant (about 1 ½ pounds)

5 anchovy fillets (or 1 tablespoon anchovy paste)

3 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 large shallot, minced

1 1⁄2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained and chopped

1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (or to taste)

salt

2 to 3 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish

toast points or toasted pita bread, wedges

chopped hard-cooked egg

chopped red onion

capers

Greek yogurt
