Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 4 or 5 cloves garlic, mashed
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 c. tahini
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 c. finely minced fresh parsley
  • sprinkle cayenne pepper

Method

  • Prick the whole unpeeled eggplant in a few places with a fork, place it on a baking sheet and broil it about 4 inches from the heat in the oven.
  • Turn it to cook on all sides, until the eggplant is completely collapsed.
  • This takes about 20 minutes. When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin.
  • Beat the pulp with a fork until it is smooth or puree in blender.
  • In a separate bowl, mix garlic and salt.
  • Stir in the tahini.
  • With a wooden spoon, beat in the lemon juice.
  • Beat the tahini mixture into the eggplant a little at a time.
  • The mixture should whip up nicely and turn a lighter color.
  • Add the fresh parsley and cayenne pepper.
