Ingredients
- 3 medium eggplants Globe or American
- ½ cup Tahini
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Pierce eggplants with a fork. On a medium-high grill (375°F to 450°F), grill the whole eggplants for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and soft.Alternatively, char over an open flame on a gas stove for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently.
- Let charred eggplants cool, then peel the charred skin. Then cut them in half and separate the seeds from the flesh.
- Let the flesh drain for a few minutes to remove any excess liquid.
- In a food processor, blend the seedy eggplant parts with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt until smooth.
- Next, shred the meaty parts and add it to the seedy mixture. If you want a smooth eggplant dip then pulse until you get the consistency you want.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pita chips, warmed tortillas, or gluten-free alternatives.
