Unfortunately, I guessed that there *should* be garlic in, & put in
rather too much.  Ouch.  (I never before believed there could be *too
much garlic*).  Addition of a further aubergine this morning did not
help matters enough.  Suggestions for other rescuing-possibilities?  So
far all I've come up with is sticking *another* aubergine in there -
that takes us to 2.5 aubergines, which is getting silly.  Although less
silly than abandoning it altogether, I guess.  Currently you could get
away with using it as salad dressing (with a bit more oil in), but
definitely not as dip or sandwich filling.

Ah.  I baked it, in the end, but until the skin was burnt, & peeled it
off.  Lovely & squidgy!
