I had this recipe this past weekend at a cookout, and it was FANTASTIC! They served this 'dip' with Crostini, however I found myself dipping veggies in here. This would be a great spread on a pita or sandwich too. Enjoy, everyone!


Eggplant & Pepper App

3 long, hot banana peepers, or 1-2 jalepenos
2 large eggplants
½ c evoo
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB red wine vinegar
Sea salt/pepper to taste

Roast peppers and eggplant until skins blister. Cool and peel, discard seeds.

Puree peppers and eggplant.

Saute onion in several TBs evoo until soft, add garlic and cook 1-2 min. Mix into puree. (I pureed it too) Add remaining evoo, juice, and vinegar, plus salt & pepper.
