    Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

2 small heads garlic
1 eggplant (1 pound)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Separate garlic cloves without peeling and tightly wrap together in foil. Prick eggplant with a fork. In a shallow baking pan roast garlic and eggplant in middle of oven until very tender, about 30 minutes for garlic and about 45 minutes for eggplant.
