Introduction
A rich and smoky Middle Eastern eggplant dip made by roasting whole eggplants, mashing them, and mixing them with creamy tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and spices. It is beautifully garnished with fresh parsley, sweet pomegranate seeds, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Step 1
Prick the eggplants multiple times using a tester, fork, or knife to create small holes.
Step 2
Wrap each eggplant tightly and completely in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Bake the wrapped eggplants in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until they are fully soft and cooked through.
Step 4
Carefully open the foil and slice the eggplants open lengthwise to let them cool down for a few minutes.
Step 5
Using a fork, scrape the tender cooked eggplant meat out onto a cutting board, discarding the outer skin and any tough stem pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Chopping the eggplant by hand instead of using a food processor yields a much better texture with rustic chunks.
Draining the excess moisture from the eggplant is critical to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
Although delicious immediately, the dip becomes even more flavorful after being chilled in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.
