Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplant
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 tbsp. tahini
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1⁄2 tsp. ground cumin smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp. parsley, chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Halve the eggplant lengthwise and brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil. Place them in the prepared tray with the halved sides down, roasting them for 35-40 minutes until the flesh is very tender.
- Once eggplant are cooked, set them aside to cool, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon, discarding the skin.
- Place the flesh on a sieve and leave for a bit (the longer, the better) to allow all the excess liquid to drain away.
- Place the flesh in a bowl, add the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and cumin. Mash everything with a fork, and continue stirring and mashing until the mixture is creamy— season to taste with salt.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped parsley to garnish.
