Pierce eggplant several times with a fork, and wrap in foil. Place eggplant on a baking sheet, and bake at 425° for 1 hour. Cool slightly. Peel, seed, and mash eggplant with a potato masher.
Step 3
Combine raisins and water in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; vent. Microwave at high 30 seconds. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes; drain. Add raisins, basil, and next 5 ingredients (basil through garlic) to eggplant.

Kingwell's Review
I can't believe no one else has reviewed this. This is my go-to recipe for eggplant or for a low-calorie but tasty (and unique) offering at a party. I have probably made this at least 10 times. I make it as written, except when possible I use Thai basil, and using the food processor simplifies it even more. Often people who don't like eggplant like this dip, especially when they try it before they learn what it contains!
