Eggplant Spread No 3
From divaliscious 16 years agoIngredients
- 1 large cooked eggplant (yield roughly 1-1/2 cups of eggplant) chopped up into small bits – it will be mushy looking – so hang in there. shopping list
- 3 cloves fresh garlic – minced shopping list
- 1/3-1/2 cup of tahini (sesame paste) shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons water shopping list
- juice of one fresh lemon shopping list
- 1 tablespoon good olive oil drizzled over final product shopping list
How to make it
- Take rinsed eggplant and either grill (like when you are roasting green peppers) on your outside grill or inside grill pan (like I did - see photos) turning it over every so often, till it seems very mushy inside.
- No grill pan or outside grill? No Problem! Place eggplant in tinfoil loosely wrapped onto a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 20-30 minutes say at 350 degrees.
- Let eggplant cool, you can also put plastic over it (see photo the way I did) to help skin loosen from the "fruit" inside. That was the hardest part of this dish!
- Gently remove skin from eggplant, and chop into small bits, it will be very mushy but keep seeds in and set aside.
- In bowl, put tahini, 2 tablespoons water – start stirring till the color of tahini gets lighter and stir till smooth.
- Take juice of one lemon and put into bowl and stir with tahini.
- Add all other ingredients including chopped eggplant and stir.
- Taste-test and add more salt and pepper if you would like.
- Drizzle good olive oil over final dish just prior to serving.
- Chill till ready to serve.
