Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Prick the eggplants several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during roasting.

  3. 3

    Place eggplants on the baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft.

  4. 4

    Remove from oven and let the eggplants cool in a covered bowl for 10 minutes to steam the skins loose.

  5. 5

    Slice the eggplants open and scoop out the soft flesh into a colander, letting it drain for 5 minutes to remove excess bitter liquid.

  6. 6

    Transfer the pulp to a bowl and mash vigorously with a fork or whisk until a chunky paste forms.

  7. 7

    Stir in the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, and smoked paprika until well combined.

  8. 8

    Season with salt to taste and garnish with fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds before serving.
