Bake pricked eggplant in 375 degree oven for an hour.

Scoop out flesh and mix with lemon juice and olive oil.

One cup mayonnaise

Chives

Parsley

Spinach

[Dill]

 3 sea scallops per person

one half onion

one half cup vermouth

---

Poach the scallops in the vermouth and onion for seven minutes. Drain and cool.

Place on bed of lettuce or mesclun salad.

Cover with the mayonnaise mixed with the chopped greens in sufficient quantity to be green and crunchy.

If you happen to have cold lobster around, this is also nice on the plate.

Also, you can cook fresh shrimp (briefly, until they turn pink) in the scallop-vermouth mixture and present those, too, for a summer meal. If you include shrimp, the dill should be included.
