Ingredients

  • 3 small eggplants ~3 lbs worth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/8 th teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Additional olive oil to serve pita chips or fresh pita

Instructions

  • Poke eggplants with a fork on all sides and transfer to a hot grill that has been brushed with oil.
  • Grill eggplants until fork tender and skin is charred, about 35-40 minutes. (This time may need adjusted depending on your grill.)
  • Let grilled eggplant cool enough to handle and then peel the skin from the flesh of the eggplants. (You should be able to use a fork to scrape the flesh from the skin.)
  • Transfer flesh into a colander and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • While eggplants are cooling/draining, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a skillet and heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for just 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Turn off the heat and add to a food processor.
  • Transfer eggplant to the food processor. Add the lemon juice, tahini, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. (The more salt the better!) Puree until smooth.
  • Transfer to bowl and sprinkle with more paprika and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with pita chips or warmed fresh pita.
