Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small eggplant
1 onion
3 cloves garlic (increase or decrease to taste)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
salt
black pepper, coarsely ground
1/4 cup cilantro, loosely packed roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Rub eggplant and onion with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake about 25-30 minutes, until the eggplant and onion have softened, turning once.
  • Add the garlic to the baking sheet at the baking halfway point, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool until able to handle.
  • Peel the eggplant and garlic and place into food processor (easiest way to get the eggplant is to cut in half and scoop it out with a spoon).
  • Cut the onion into quarters or large chunks and add to the food processor.
  • Add vinegar, lemon juice, parmesan, salt and pepper.
  • Pulse until it is of a dip or spread consistency.
  • Add cilantro and briefly pulse.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dip turned out really watery. I think I might have over-roasted the eggplant.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. I think it could use more garlic and onion.

This is a delicious dip, but it's a little too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try roasting the eggplant for a shorter amount of time next time.
