EGGPLANT HUMMUS
This healthy dip (which we call "hummus ganouj" ) is great with pita or vegetables (baby carrots, sliced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes). If you don't have a blender, finely dice the garlic and mash the chickpeas with a fork, and mix with all the other ingredients. Although the result won't be as creamy, that's how hummus was made before blenders existed.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
- Prick the eggplant with a fork and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes or until it collapses on itself. Slice it open to cool.
- If desired, remove the skin of the eggplant with your hands before adding the flesh to the blender. I like the skin so just drop the whole eggplant in the blender.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- If you'd like, garnish with paprika, pine nuts, olive oil, and chopped basil or other herbs.

Steps:
- Peel eggplant and cut into 1/2" round slices, brush both sides with olive oil and place on grill. Let grill on both sides until flesh is softened & lightly browned. Remove eggplant from grill and set aside until ready to process. Recipe can be doubled. In a sauce pan add 1/4 C olive oil & sliced garlic. Cook on low until garlic is tender but not burned and oil infuses with garlic flavor. Put garbanzo beans in food processor, add warm garlic and oil and pulse to mix, then add the grilled eggplant. Process with the remaining olive oil until smooth. May need to use a little more olive oil if you like a looser consistency. Remove mixture from processor and taste. Add pepper. Taste. Then mix in fresh lime juice. Enjoy with warm bread, carrots sticks, crackers, etc. Also great as a spread on sandwiches. Much better made a day ahead.
