I have the tendency to go overboard when I buy vegetables. I just find so many uses for them! And when you can’t think of anything at all, you can always make vegetable stock.

Anyways, I had a few carrots and an eggplant leftover after all of the week’s meals. And it clicked. I had a perfect idea: I could make Eggplant spread. And I’m so glad I did because this recipe tastes so good! There couldn’t be a better way to use up those veggies. My mom used to make an eggplant spread when I was a child, and this recipe reminds me of it.
