Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium aubergines (eggplants)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce each aubergine a few times with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the aubergines in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the skins are charred and the flesh is tender.
While the aubergines are roasting, finely chop the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Once the aubergines are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are easy to handle.
Peel the charred skin off the aubergines and place the flesh into a bowl or food processor.
Add the chopped garlic, lemon juice, tahini, smoked paprika, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the aubergine.
Using a fork or a food processor, mash or blend the ingredients until you have a smooth mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature with pita bread or vegetables.
