I LOVE this spread! Have made it twice now and it has great flavor. I didn't need to 'drain' the liquid off the eggplant and in my oven cooked for less time (but my oven runs hot). I did not have allspice so did a dash of cinnamon and cloves. I also did a little extra garlic, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Next time I'd actually like to try to blend in the skins of the eggplant...Reply

Made this last night- had it with a whole grain sourdough bread. It was delicious! So simple to make too! I think it would be great as a spread for a sandwich as wellReply

This has a nice mild flavour (I left out hot pepper sauce). Didn't exactly set to a pate like consistency, but very nice as a spread/dip. Thanks!Reply
