Add your commenthey Akotoch , this is a Turkish dish which is called Baba Gannuş. Where are you from , Turkey?
You can also add 1 tablespoon of Tahini paste and lemon juice to taste, then puree all the ingredients together. Very tasty and great as a dip.
I have NEVER fixed this. BUT I am sure going to try it. It sounds great to use as a dip also.
