The orginally posted recipe is pretty close to Baba Ganoush, a Middle
Eastern eggplant dish.
Here's a version from a friend of mine who's the Executive Chef at a 5-star

16 ounces eggplant ; - 1 large

Pierce the eggplant all over 30 to 40 times with a toothpick or small

Slice the eggplant into halves vertically. Scoop out the flesh and place in
