- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil

Preheat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
Puncture eggplant and pepper with a fork and place on a pan. Roast for about an hour until soft.
Remove from oven and let cool until you can handle them. Cut and scoop out the inside of the eggplant.
Empty on flat plate and smash with a fork for a few minutes, until blended.
Dice the pepper and add to the eggplant and mix well.
