Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 pieces Large Italian Eggplants
  • 1/4 cup Tahini paste
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 pinch Smoked paprika(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prick the eggplants several times with a fork to prevent them from bursting.

  2. 2

    Roast the eggplants over an open gas flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft.

  3. 3

    Place the roasted eggplants in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam, making the skins easier to peel.

  4. 4

    Peel away the charred skin and discard, then place the eggplant flesh in a fine-mesh strainer for 5 minutes to drain excess bitter liquid.

  5. 5

    Transfer the drained eggplant to a bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly textured.

  6. 6

    Stir in the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and cumin until well combined.

  7. 7

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring to emulsify the mixture.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning, then garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of smoked paprika before serving.
