Roasted eggplant spread from Barefoot Contessa Cookbook Collection: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Parties!, and Barefoot Contessa Family Style by Ina Garten

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Breadcrumbs, this was the first recipe I noted to try when I bought thsi book a month ago. I have been making variations of an eggplanr dip for years, but always roasted the eggplant whole or when in a hurry did it in the microwave.Am very keen to try this where the eggplant is cut up before roasting,but I think it is the wrong season here ,will have to wait till summer.

    p. 41 I’m really surprised we haven’t seen a review for this yet. I’ve been making the recipe for years now and we always love it. If you’re finding yourself with an abundance of eggplants and peppers, this is the recipe for you! I see there's a link to the recipe so I’ll skip how this comes together. Suffice to say, prep is super-simple. Ina calls for minced garlic, I often toss in some whole cloves as well. We prefer this a little smoother and I always add an extra tbsp of tomato paste to my mixture. If you have any eggplant-haters in your crowd, this is a dish that just may convert them as the eggplant flavour and texture blends with the other ingredients. Sweet and rustic we love this atop grilled Crostini or pita. Highly recommend this one. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/737716?replied_to=5954411#7536055
