Ingredients
1 large eggplant (about 1-1/2 lb.)3 cloves garlic, minced1/4 cup lemon juice1/4 cup tahini (I put 4 tbsp in the nutritional info)1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp ground cumin1 tsp olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 450
2. Prick eggplant with fork in several places and rub olive oil on exterior
3. Bake 15 minutes, then turn over and bake another 15 or until very soft. set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel off skin and discard.
4. Blend eggplant, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, salt and cumin until smooth (I used a hand mixer but a food processer would work too). If mixture is too thick, think with a little water or more lemon juice to desired consistency.
5. OPTIONAL (Not Included in Nutritional Analysis) - After you transfer mixture to a serving bowl, use the back of a spoon to form a shallow well. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over top and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Arrange kalamata olives around side of bowl.
Serve at room temperature.
