Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Large aubergines (eggplants)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the aubergines several times with a fork. Rub them lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the aubergines on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
While the aubergines are roasting, finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley. Set aside.
Once roasted, remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Cut the aubergines lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, discarding the skins.
Add the chopped garlic, tahini, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the aubergine flesh.
Mix well with a fork or use a hand blender to achieve a smooth consistency, according to your preference.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Place the dip in a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of fresh vegetables, pita chips, or use as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
