Babaganoosh (Grilled Eggplant Dip)
What you’ll need:
2 Large Eggplants (approx 2 lbs)
2 Garlic Cloves
2 Scallions
4 Tbsp Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
4 Tbsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Plain Yogurt
2-3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ Tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste
How to make it
Wash the eggplants and prick in a few spots to allow
the steam to escape. Grill them over a medium flame;
turning frequently, until charred on all sides and the
flesh is soft. Let cool and then split lengthwise and
scoop out the flesh.
In the 40 oz. pitcher add garlic, scallion, parsley and lemon
juice and pulse until all items are minced. Add eggplant,
olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper and pulse until items are
pureed. Adjust seasoning and serve in bowl with additional
olive oil drizzled on top and garnish with parsley sprigs.
Serve with warm pita wedges, your favorite bread or an
assortment of raw vegetables.
