I prepared the egg plants last night while I had rotisserie chicken cooking and the garlic was cooked with our feijoa crumble dessert.
I always have tahini in the fridge (and chickpeas in her pantry) as a quick stand by ingredient for Hummus. It is a paste made from ground roasted sesame seeds. In my supermarket it is in the organic/whole foods section in a jar.
Babaganoush
For about 1 1/2 cups:
2 medium eggplants
1/2 a head of garlic, roasted in oven
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
about 1/2 teaspoon salt
Char eggplant on BBQ until black all over.2 medium eggplants
1/2 a head of garlic, roasted in oven
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
about 1/2 teaspoon salt
Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, place on a chopping board, cut in half and scrape the flesh out of the skin.
Cur top off garlic head and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in tin foil in oven until head is soft.
Place the egg plant flesh and garlic squeezed from head in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade, add the lemon juice and tahini and process until smooth.
With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil and add the salt. Stop the processor, taste the mixture and a little more salt if required.
Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
