Roasted Eggplant Spread
Jim and Cathy Baker, French Country Dinner, Oct 27, 2001
Servings: 6
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Cut the eggplant, bell pepper, and onion into 1 inch
cubes. Toss them in a large bowl with the garlic, olive
oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast
for 45 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly
browned and soft, tossing once during cooking. Cool
slightly.
Place the vegetables in a food processor fitted with a
steel blade, add the tomato paste, and pulse 3 or 4
times to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Great with toasted pita bread slices and served
alongside Mediterranean specialties such as hummus,
Greek olives, and feta cheese.
