Recipe for Eggplant Dip Recipe

Ingredients:

1 medium eggplant, peeled and diced
1 medium chopped onion
1 15 ounce can of tomatoes
(I use diced canned tomatoes with green chillies for a spicy taste)
Brown the eggplant and onion in olive oil. Drain on paper towels.

(If you are watching your fat, bake the eggplant in the oven)

Add the tomatoes and refrigerate. Serve cold with Italian Bread.
I love eggplant and this is different because it is serve it hot or cold. 
You can buy this is the specialty food section and it is expensive and does not compare to homemade!
