Eggplant Dip
Notes/ Precautions
Pierce Before Roasting – Poking holes in the eggplant prevents it from bursting while broiling.
Let It Cool – Cooling the roasted eggplant makes peeling easier and prevents burns.
Adjust Garlic Flavor – Roast the garlic before blending for a milder taste or use raw for a stronger punch.
Enhance the Texture – For a richer flavor, add a drizzle of tahini or extra olive oil while blending.
