Asparagus with Aubergine Mayonnaise

Interesting recipe. The asparagus and aubergine/eggplant flavors go together surprisingly well.

Since I was making only a half recipe (only one eggplant at hand) and didn't want to mess with a spare egg white and half a yolk, I used store-bought mayo (Hellman's) and dressed it up a bit. with dijon, vinegar, and tarragon. It was quite sweet, but got better with extra sauce.

Definitely something I'd consider doing for a party or buffet table, making the mayo as instruct ed.
