Number Of Ingredients 11

Minced Garlic (~6 cloves)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Garlic powder
Minced Fresh basil (~1/3 cup before mincing)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Large eggplants
Roasted garlic (~4 cloves)
1 Can tomato paste
Balsamic vinegar (reduced)
Sugar (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the first group of ingredients into the olive oil (to taste). It will probably come out even better if you let this sit for a while so the flavors blend. 3. Preheat oven to 400F 4. Cut eggplant into cubes (~1") and toss in the mixture. Then bake for ~45 minutes (until very tender and browned) 5. Place eggplant and 1/2 the tomato paste in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients to taste including the rest of the tomato paste, a large helping of balsamic, more basil, and spices. Best served cold
