Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Aubergines
- 60 grams Tahini
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and dry the aubergines. Prick them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Place the aubergines on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
Once roasted, remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
While the aubergines are cooling, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Peel the roasted aubergines and place the flesh in a large bowl. Discard the skins.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves (minced), olive oil, salt, and ground cumin to the aubergine flesh.
Mash or blend the mixture with a fork or immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the mutabal to a serving dish and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the top along with the finely chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds.
Serve immediately with keto-friendly chips or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
