Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large aubergines
- 60 grams Tahini
- 45 milliliters Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 45 milliliters Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) or prepare a grill for high heat.
Pierce the aubergines several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake or grill the aubergines for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
Remove the aubergines from the oven or grill and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the aubergines and discard it. Transfer the flesh to a sieve to drain excess liquid.
In a food processor, combine the aubergine flesh, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mutabal to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
Finish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve at room temperature with fresh veggies or flatbread for dipping.
