Oven baked aubergines

These are so popular in the Sassari area, that they have even inspired a song about their goodness.

They are quite easy to prepare: the aubergines are cut in half lengthwise and scored across the pulp to form diamond shapes, they are then covered in garlic, parsley and plenty of olive oil and chili and either cooked in the oven or, for more expert cooks, on the barbecue.
