My family is Romanian, too - on my father's side. Here's the recipe for what we always called
1 medium eggplant
3 tbsp. minced onion
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
4 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. sugar
Bake the eggplant in a 475° F oven until the skin turns dark and brown. Cool and peel.
Chop the eggplant until very smooth. (I suppose you could use a food processor, but I've always used that wooden bowl and half-moon chopper). Add everything else. Chill.
Serve with black bread - much better than crackers.
