Roasted eggplant dip with Thai flavors is a delectable dish that combines the earthy taste of roasted eggplant with the vibrant flavors of Thailand. This dip is a perfect appetizer or snack, and it can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. The key to making this dish is to roast the eggplant until it is tender and slightly charred, which brings out its natural sweetness and smokiness. Once the eggplant is roasted, it is mashed and combined with a variety of Thai ingredients, such as coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, and chili peppers, to create a dip that is both flavorful and aromatic.

ROASTED EGGPLANT DIP
This is my version of what many call "baba ganoush." I learned the Persian version some years back (called 'kashke badamjun') and have played with it over time and adapted it to my tastes. Hopefully you'll do the same.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F
- In a saute pan, start onions on a low flame in a little olive oil and salt and pepper. You want them to caramelize nicely without burning.
- Place eggplant slices in large bowl and drizzle liberally with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and give a good toss (trick: works well in clean plastic bag, such as [gasp] a trash bag. Just pull out the slices for roasting and toss the bag.).
- Place seasoned eggplant on baking sheets in single layer and roast until tender, about 15 minutes.
- When onions are near done add the garlic.
- In food processor, add all of the ingredients and pulse a couple times.
- Taste to adjust seasoning, then pulse to desired consistency (I like it a little chunky so I know I'm eating eggplant). You may adjust consistency by drizzling in olive oil while pulsing.
- Very good with crusty bread or pita or crackers or to stuff roasted tomatoes. Enjoy.

Tips:
- Choose the right eggplant. Look for eggplants that are firm and heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft, wrinkled, or have brown spots.
- Roast the eggplant properly. Roasting the eggplant brings out its natural sweetness and smoky flavor. To roast the eggplant, prick it all over with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the eggplant in a preheated 400°F oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and slightly charred.
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the dip will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a good quality tahini paste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. You can add more or less chili paste, lime juice, or honey, depending on your preference.
Conclusion:
Roasted eggplant dip with Thai flavors is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, dip, or spread. It's perfect for parties, picnics, or potlucks. With its smoky, sweet, and tangy flavor, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
