I love Mediterranean food, and the flavors in this dip are so vibrant. We make our own mini sandwiches once this platter is complete. —Stacy Mullens, Gresham, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant (about 1-1/2 pounds), peeled
  • 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
