Calories: 247kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Eggplants
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
Spices
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt, to taste
- 1 tsp White Pepper - Or Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika Powder
Instructions
- Bake Eggplants: Cut your eggplants vertically along the core. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes at a temperature of 200 Celsius. Check eggplant to see if it is cooked and shriveled. Tear open the eggplant using two forks. If there is still a lot of water, you can return the tray back to the oven for 10 minutes more. After that amount of time, check the eggplant.
- Grill the Eggplant: The secret trick to get that smokey flavor is to grill the eggplants on a stove top grill pan. Use butter on the grill pan to add more flavor.
- Scoop out the Eggplant: Once cooled, Peel the eggplant and blend the flesh in a food processor. Add the tahini, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika powder, lemon juice and olive oil.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste and adjust the ingredients accordingly. Sprinkle paprika on the top and then add olive oil. Garnish with parsley. For a better flavor profile, keep refrigerated for 1- 2 hours.
