Peel aubergines and score them once with a sharp knife. Cover with cold water, add the juice of 2 lemons and leave for an hour. Drain and boil for about 15 minutes or until almost soft. Drain and cover with cold water. Leave for 2-3 hours changing the water once or twice. Drain again and put on a napkin. Insert an almond ineach aubergine.
