Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    4 eggplant, grilled over charcoal
    1/3 cup tahini, 5.333 tbsp (remove)
    Juice of 1 lemon
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tsp cumin
    sea salt to taste (this is about 1/2 tsp)

Directions

1 - Prick the eggplants all over, and grill until the skin is blistered and the eggplants feel soft to the touch, turning occasionally.

2 - Transfer the eggplants to a large bowl, cover and allow to cool for 1-2 hours. Once cooled, cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh into a food processor or blender, along with any juice that accumulated at the bottom of the bowl.

3 - Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cumin, and puree for 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Chill for 2 hours, up to 3 days.

To serve: spread Baba Ghanoush onto a shallow plate. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with parsley.
