Notes

  • Eggplant: If you are not a fan of eggplant then this right might not be for you but honestly the flavors in this dish are so wonderful you can't taste the eggplant very prominently.  The consistency is so thick and creamy, it's truly wonderful.
  • Onion: If you do not want to use onion powder, then use 1 small onion, that's been cooked down.  You want the moisture to be limited.
  • Garlic: If you do not want to use garlic powder, then use 3-4 garlic cloves, that's been cooked down (you can do this when you cook the onion down too).  You want the moisture to be limited.
  • The heat from Spice: If you are sensitive to spice, then omit the chili flakes or just add to taste.
  • Storage: This dip will last up to 1 week in a tightly sealed container in the fridge.
