Ingredients


Preparation

Pierce the eggplant all over 30 to 40 times with a toothpick or small skewer. Roast on a grill or under a broiler for 15-20 minutes until charred and softened. Then, turn once to char and soften the second side. Cool to room temperature.

Slice the eggplant into halves vertically. Scoop out the flesh and place in a food processor. Add a little of the charred skin, the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt and cayenne pepper. Puree until smooth.

Serve with pita crisps or veggies for dipping.

Great stuff. I never know what to do with eggplant. This recipe is very simple and easy to make. I was a little concerned that the eggplant wasn't cooked enough when I took it out of the oven (I did 15 min on each side, I'll do 20 on each side next time) but it turned out fine. Thanks!

One eggplant makes quite a bit of this dtuff. Fortunatly it keeps well in the refrigerator.

An old, enduring recipe such as Baba Gbanousb has antecedents still - a pre-recipe history, unwritten, but marked, when someone took an eggplant and threw it on the fire, discovering first that, lo, it was good and later that, lo, it was even better with garlic, sesame, and citrus.
