Creamy dips are often laden with fat, but yogurt makes an eggplant-and-onion version a guilt-free pleasure; we used baked pita chips for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wrap garlic loosely in foil. Put garlic and eggplants on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until eggplants and garlic are soft and eggplant skins begin to blister and blacken, about 45 minutes. Remove garlic from oven.
- Raise oven temperature to broil, and broil eggplants until skins are charred, about 3 minutes.Transfer to wire racks, and let cool completely.
- Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion slices; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk together chopped onion, yogurt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Squeeze roasted-garlic pulp into yogurt mixture, and stir well.
- Cut each eggplant in half lengthwise. Scrape flesh into a large fine sieve set over a large bowl; let drain 15 minutes. Discard liquid. Stir eggplant and the salt into yogurt mixture; season with pepper. Top with reserved cooked onion.
