It depends. If you make it "Arab style" with techina, sure. You may have to
wait for it to thaw, and run it through the blender to get the consistency
you like as the oil will seperate.

If you make it "Israeli" style, with mayonaise, forgetaboutit. :-)

You could just cook the eggplant, mash it up in a blender and freeze it.
Then when you thaw it, you can add fresh techina to it. YUM.

No. Generally made fresh and eaten that day and maybe the next. Never
tried to freeze it but my Arab friends told me it couldn't be done and
preserve the flavor and texture.
