Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium eggplants
2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon, to taste
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, crushed to a paste
Flaky sea salt
Pomegranate seeds, for serving
Crushed walnut halves, for serving
Chopped parsley leaves, for serving
Olive oil, for drizzling
Pita bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Grill the whole eggplants over the flame of a gas stove or on a rack set over an electric cooktop until the skin is charred all over, a couple minutes each side. Put the eggplants in a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to steam for 8 to 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the charred skin and discard, reserving any liquid in the bowl.
  • Roughly chop the eggplant flesh and put in the bowl along with any reserved eggplant liquid. Add the tahini, lemon juice, yogurt and garlic, then season with salt. Mash with a fork until thoroughly combined. The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving dish and top with pomegranate seeds, crushed walnuts, parsley leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with pita bread for dipping.
