Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 quarter cup Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the eggplants and pierce them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the eggplants on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the eggplants are tender.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and allow them to cool until they are safe to handle.
Once cooled, cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skins. Place the flesh in a food processor.
Add the olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, salt, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the food processor.
Pulse the food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the babaganoush to a serving bowl, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
Serve with a selection of raw vegetables or compliant crackers for dipping.
