NOTES : This is a chunky. low-fat guacamole that I invented when I had to bring

an hors d'oeuvre to a party, but had only a small

amount of edible food in my refrigerator. (This is, I think, How many recipes

are born.) On this particular day I had a ripe

avocado, an eggplant, a red and a green pepper, some cilantro, and not much

else. After roasting the eggplant, I mashed its flesh

with the avocado, chopped peppers, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and red

onion. One of my friends said that it tasted

better than traditional guacamole, but I'll just say it's really good.
