Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetable. Especially, now is summer I try to incorporate them in our everyday meals as much as I can. I love them grilled, roasted, on pasta, but because weekend is coming, I thought to transform a roasted eggplant into a dip. Here I am roasting a big firm eggplant in the oven. How do you roast an eggplant? Just wash well and poke into it with a fork. Then place the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast on 400 degree until nice and soft, and you will see that the fork goes through easily. Let it cool for a while. Cut through with a knife and pull out the eggplant pulp. My roasted eggplant went straight to a blender, and together with other ingredients became a beautiful dip. For the rest just check detailed instructions below.Enjoy!
