    Ms. Garten, I am convinced you do not make a bad recipe! This is delicious!!!! I did decrease the cayenne pepper to 1/2 tsp. and didn't even use salt and pepper...only b/c I forgot and it was perfect. Fun new recipe to use with all my CSA veggies!

    This is an incredibly easy and enormously flavorful dish. The fragrance in the house while roasting the veges was fabulous. I was eating it right out of the food processor! I followed the recipe "exactly" and would not change a thing! I found the Tahini at Publix which really suprised to me. This will be a staple at my house. Ina, you came through once again!!!

    I have made this twice since watching her show. Serious crowd pleaser. I now know what to bring to gatherings that is both very tasty and easy to make.
    I added a yellow pepper and rosemary. Yumm

    @ parrtyclark....if you were watching the ENTIRE show you would see how she picked out a "yacht flag" vs an american flag......She picked up the american flag at first ....and said "can't use that...it would be disrespectful" That was the part of the show where she went shopping for rope for the napkins and a table cloth.....geez...get your facts straight before you go bashing someone.......

    Ever since I started making this years ago It's always everybody's number one request! Whatever else I bring to any event, I have to also make the Roasted Eggplant Spread as well, but that's okay with me because I love it too!

    I have made this spread from the recipe in Ina's cookbook and I thought it was great. That recipe calls for 1 eggplant , 2 red peppers and 1 Tbs of tomato paste and no tahini or lemon juice. The color and consistency is great. The spread was perfect with toasted pita. Judging from some of the comments, I think I will stick with the recipe in "The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook" as I know it is great! I am not sure the addition of the tahini, lemon juice and the extra eggplant make it better.

    I have made this so many times and am still loving it I put it on everything from meat to pasta to eggs in the morning! I am not wild about tahini so I substituted plain, no fat, thick Greek yogurt and red pepper flakes and tobasco instead of cayenne. A friend has egg plant growing in her garden and if all of those blossoms produce egg plant I will be up to my ears in this tasty dib!
