Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant (whole)
  • 2 cloves garlic or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup tahini (or you can substitute plain yogurt but it will have a much milder taste)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP fresh cilantro
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Drizzle of organic extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Place a whole eggplant (cap and all) on a cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour or until soft. Alternatively you could roast your eggplant right over the flame of a gas stove.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Slice into eggplant and scoop out flesh.

Add all ingredients to blender and puree till smooth. I like to use a hand blender.

 

Add salt and pepper to your taste preference.

Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with olives if desired.
