Ingredients

6 servings
Eggplant2 large
Tahini3 tbsp
Garlic2 cloves
Olive oil2 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
Paprika1 tsp
Cumin1/4 tsp

Method

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick each eggplant several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, until completely collapsed and very soft when pressed.

2

Let eggplants cool for 5 minutes. Scoop the soft flesh into a colander and let drain for 5 minutes to release excess liquid; discard the skins.

3

Transfer drained eggplant to a food processor. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin. Pulse until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

4

Taste and adjust seasoning—add more lemon juice for brightness, salt for depth, or tahini for earthiness.

5

Transfer to a serving bowl, create a shallow well in the center with the back of a spoon, and drizzle with olive oil.

6

Top with pomegranate seeds, fresh parsley, and a pinch of paprika. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
