Ingredients
  • 1/4 sweet onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 2 medium or 6 small eggplants, halved lengthwise, broiled to cook (I prefer to bake my eggplant, cut in half with some olive oil in the cut side so it doesn't dry out)
  • 1/4 cup plain whole-milk or low-fat (not fat-free) yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
  1. In a food processor, combine the onion and garlic. Work until the mixture is finely chopped.
  2. Add the eggplant flesh and work the mixture just until it is pureed.
  3. Add the yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse just until smooth.
  4. Season to taste.
  5. Transfer to a shallow bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for several hours.

This is a must try. Great flavors blended together. I can even see this as a sandwich spread topped with grilled portabellas or grilled veggies. This will be in my tummie before nightfall. Thanks!


Wow, this sounds really interesting! I've never cooked much with eggplant, but I can see how this would be an excellent dip or spread. I have to try it!


Sounds like a perfect combo.
