Eggplant-Hummus Dip/Spread

4 cups chickpeas, cooked
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, minced
salt, to taste
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Stab eggplant with fork, and bake for 45 minutes.
2. Take it out and let it cool. (I chop it up a bit so it cools faster.) Remove the peel from the eggplant.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Very cool, almost like hummus and babba ghanoush all rolled into one. I may make this for the 4th of July cookout..
Very good, easy to make recipe. I had two isssues which I concider my own fault. I cooked my own chickpeas instead of using canned. I tend to under salt things as I cook so I needed to add about 2 tsp. of salt to the end product. Also I have found that when I cook my own beans, they seem to end up with a grainy texture but adding about 2-3 Tbs olive oil took care of that problem.
I have promised my vegetarian daughter and omni son that I will keep hummus in the fridge and this will be added to the regular rotation of recipies.
