Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Aubergines (Eggplants)
- 60 grams Tahini
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 30 milliliters Lemon juice
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 5 grams Salt
- 2 grams Ground cumin
- 10 grams Parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 30 grams Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Prick the aubergines with a fork in several places to allow steam to escape as they cook.
Place the aubergines on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the skins are charred and the flesh is very soft.
Remove the roasted aubergines from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the aubergines cool, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Once the aubergines are cool enough to handle, split them open and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skin.
To the aubergine flesh, add tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin.
Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until it is well combined and creamy, yet still has some texture. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mutabal to a serving dish. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and sprinkle with chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds for garnish.
Serve the soy-free aubergine mutabal with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
