Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sized eggplants
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • parsley to garnish
  • pinch of smoked cumin to garnish

Instructions

  • Cut eggplant in half.
  • On grill (traditional method): Grill eggplant until lightly browned and size reduces, about 7 minutes per side.
  • If in oven: roast in oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes - until it is reduced in size and browned.
  • Let eggplant cool enough to be able to comfortably touch.
  • Peel the purple eggplant skin off - it should easily peel off after roasting. Discard peel.
  • Add eggplant and all other ingredients into food processor.
  • Pulse until desired chunkiness.
  • Add to bowl, and top with a pinch of smoked paprika, a drizzle of olive oil, and parsley.
