- Bake the eggplant (ahead of time if necessary) for 1 hour, or until it is soft throughout.
- Cool the eggplant, cut in half and let drain.
- Remove the skin.
- Mash in tomatoes, avocados, garlic and spices to taste.

- (all the ingredients except tahini can be placed in a blender with the eggplant. The dip will be thinner, so add tahini or one more avocado mashed by hand).

It DOES make an excellent dip--it's kind of like a cross between baba ghanoush and guacamole! I used 3 cloves of garlic, then added a few shakes of cumin and a splash of lemon juice because it just felt like the right thing to do. I'm curious what else you put on the sandwich when you used it as a spread?

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
