Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 to 3 medium eggplants (about 3 pounds total)
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
N/A freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Rub the outside of the eggplants with olive oil and place them in a roasting plan. Roast the eggplant until the skin has charred and the interior is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • 2. Peel and seed the cooled eggplant, roughly chop the flesh, and then transfer it to the bowl of a food processor.
  • 3. Into the processor bowl add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, some salt and pepper to taste, and a few teaspoons of cold water. Process the mixture to a coarse paste, adding a bit more water as needed to allow the mixture to blend.
  • 4. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
