Hi,
This recipe looks great. Quick question: do you blend the eggplant with the skin or you throw the skin out after it’s done roasting?
Also, do you all the garlic flesh in with the rest of the veggies when pulsing?
Thanks. Please let me know. I’d love to try making this.
So glad you like this recipe, Shoshana! To answer your question to live the skin on the eggplant or to remove it after it’s done roasting is up to you. I have made this recipe with the skin on, without the skin and with partial skin on. It still tastes great! Just squeeze out the garlic flesh and pulse with the rest of the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
