Roasted Eggplant Spread PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 22 June 2006 13:41

This is a healthy spread chocked full of veggies that tastes like heaven.  Eat it with tortilla chips, pita crisps, bread, on a sandwich, or straight up.  Pure deliciousness!

Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 red bell peppers (other colors are fine, but the red makes for a pretty end result)
  • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. tomato paste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Peel the eggplant and seed the bell pepper.  Dice the eggplant, onion, and bell peppers into 1 inch pieces.  Mince the garlic.  Mix the vegetables, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in bowl until thing is well coated.  Spread mixture out on a cookie sheet and cook for 45 minutes.After removing from oven, place the vegetable mixture and tomato paste in a food processor.  Pulse until it is at desired consistency.  I like it still a little chunky but make it as smooth as you like.

This was so easy to make, I love it. And I don't have to feel bad about
eating alot at one sitting!

Glad you loved the recipe! I love it too. You can try spreading
it on a sandwich instead of mayonnaise or mustard. It adds a lot of
flavor!

Thanks for letting me know you tried the recipe. I always love
to hear what everyone thinks.

I have been making this ever since you gave me the recipe over a year ago.
I even made pita "sandwiches" with it for an FHS pot luck, to
rave reviews from the coworkers. My version doesn't include the garlic;
I'll have to try that.  YOU KiCk ASS

No garlic?!?! Can you make a dish without garlic?  Not in my house.
Luckily I found a hubby who loves garlic almost as much as I do. When
a recipe calls for 1 clove, I put in 4. Everything is better with
extra garlic
