Directions
Cook the eggplant at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. (Stab it a few times with a fork first.) Take it out and let it cool. (I chop it up a bit so it cools faster.) Remove the peel from the eggplant. Toss the eggplant, along with the other ingredients, into a food processor, and let 'er rip until the consistency is smooth.
