Default Eggplant vegetable dip

eating plain celery gets old fast. here is a nice dip to make celery a bit more interesting!

Ingredients:

2 Large eggplant or 4 Chinese eggplant
3 yellow zuccini (squash) diced
2 Med Oinion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
5 carrors finely shredded
small bunch dill
salt pepper to taste
1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp dry basil
oil


Directions:

If using regular eggplant cut in circles and soak in salted water for 1 hour. then ring out like a sponge and cut into cubes. If using Chinese eggplant do not need to soak. saute onions, eggplant, zuccini, garlick in oil until soft. using a hand blender convert veggies into a paste or use a food proccesor. add spices/herbs and shredded carrot. refrigerate for 1 hour to have the flavors blend and mature. Makes a great dip or side dish. If you want to jazz it up a bit add a splash or two of hot sauce if peppers are on the menue.
