1 large eggplant
1 can chickpeas
minced garlic
lemon juice
spices of choice
Prick egglant all over with fork. Microwave on high for about 10 minutes, or until very soft in center. Remove from microwave and cut in half lengthwise and allow to cool. Drain chickpeas and put in food processor, Scoop out cooled flesh of eggplant into food processor. Add garlic to taste (I add about a tablespoon of minced garlic), a teaspoon (or to taste) of lemon juice and your choice of spices...I usually add a bit of cayenne pepper to kick it up. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate and enjoy.
