Also I cut slits in the eggplant and pushed in garlic cloves before cooking on grill then use food processor to mix it all together.

I think I like it. Simple, tasty, good stuff.

For a smoky version, you can char the eggplants over an open flame instead of roasting in the oven. Don’t try it unless your eggplants are the skinny Asian kind, though!
