Can eggplant go through a food processor?

[JustMe]

Hmmn, well since I don;t own "Cooking for Dummies", I will post this question here!

I am making a recipe that calls for finely chopped eggplant tomorrow. Can I do this in a food processor or will that end up liquifying the eggplant? I also have a manual salsa maker that is good for chopping up things like onions and might be a little more gentle...or should I just do it by hand?

Thanks,

It will be fine, but cut it into small-ish chunks, don't overfill the workbowl, and just "pulse" it until you get the right consistency.
