A lovely dip for veggies, toasted pompadams or tortilla chips. I use it as a spread for meat and veggie sandwiches also.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium eggplants
1 lemon, juice of
1/2 cup tahini
3 -6 garlic cloves
1/2 cup parsley, chopped (, loose pack)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup minced scallion
black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil (if needed)

Steps:

  • First off, buy only shiny eggplants-dull ones are old.
  • Cut off the stem ends of eggplants and prick them like you would a spud for baking.
  • Place on the middle rack in oven and bake at 250 degrees for about 1 hour.
  • They should look quite pooped out.
  • Using mitts remove and cool to touch.
  • Cut open and scoop out-toss the peel.
  • Place in a food processor with all the ingredients except oil.
  • Whirl away-until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust-remember the pepper and garlic will get stronger.
  • Place in a serving dish and cover with oil if not serving right away.
  • Chill.
