Time: 1 hr 30 min (15 min to prepare, 1 hr 15 min to cook)
Meal type: Appetizer
Ethnicity:
Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients:
2 each large eggplants (1 1/4 lbs)
2 tablespoon tahini
4 each cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or more to taste
4 tablespoon Cold water
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
0.5 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped tomato
0.5 cup diced onion, Parsley sprigs to garnish (optional)
Directions:
Pierce the eggplants in several places with a toothpick or fork. Wrap each eggplant in aluminum foil and place on a gas grill or in the oven at 500°F. Cook until the eggplants collapse and begin to release a lot of steam, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the foil and place the eggplants into a bowl of cold water. Peel while eggplants are still hot and allow them to drain in a colander until cool. Squeeze pulp to remove any bitter juices and mash the eggplant to a puree. In a food processor, mix tahini, garlic, onion, tomato, lemon juice, and water until mixture is concentrated. With the blender running, add the peeled eggplant, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Serve in a shallow dish and garnish with black pepper, tomatoes, and parsley.
