Cut off top 1/3 of garlic head to expose tops of cloves. Remove any layers of loose, papery skin. Place garlic in a small ovenproof dish and drizzle with 1 tbsp. Oil (or wrap in aluminum foil). Set garlic in broiler pan with eggplant; bake until eggplant wrinkles and begins to collapse, about 1 hour. Remove from oven.

Process until mixture is chunky, just a few pulses. Alternatively, chop eggplant pulp with knife and mix with other ingredients. Refrigerate a few hours to allow flavors to blend.
