Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggplant
3 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon za'atar seasoning
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Using a fork, poke holes in the eggplant so steam will be able to release during cooking.
  • Place eggplant on the preheated grill. Grill until skins are charred, about 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a baking pan, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes.
  • Using your hands, carefully remove the stem and the skin; the skin should be split open and peel off easily. Discard the skin and place flesh in a colander; let drain for 20 minutes. Press out any remaining moisture with paper towels.
  • Place eggplant in a food processor. Add tahini, lemon juice, za'atar, crushed red pepper, salt, paprika, and garlic. Pulse until smooth. Add olive oil and parsley; pulse until oil is incorporated. Garnish with additional crushed red pepper flakes and parsley if desired.
