Stir in tomato sauce and garlic; simmer over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is no longer chewy. Check to be sure no browning occurs on the bottom of pan. When mixture is very thick and vegetables are done, remove from heat. Add salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and lemon juice to taste. Cover and chill. To serve, sprinkle with fresh parsley and tomato.

When tomatoes are in season, substitute 3 large chopped tomatoes for the canned tomato sauce.
