We love this easy, mostly hands-off recipe that requires just five ingredients. All you have to do is roast the eggplant halves until they're softened, which should take about 40 minutes. Scoop out the flesh, then purée with fresh basil, green olives, chopped garlic, and a pinch of salt to reach your desired consistency. You can add Mediterranean flavor to sandwiches with a scoop of this spread, or use it as a dip for fresh raw vegetables. You'll love it so much that you can easily scale up the recipe so you can have a batch on hand at all times.
