Miranda | My Anosmic Kitchen

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Eggplants roasted
  • ½ cup Tahini
  • 1 Garlic clove minced (or 2 roasted)
  • 1 Whole fresh lemon all the juice
  • Salt to taste

Optional but suggested

Garnish

Extra Topping Suggestions

  • Pomegranate seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with foil. Set aside.
  • Rinse the eggplants, dry using kitchen tissue paper and use a fork to pierce random holes around the eggplant. Piercing the eggplant will prevent it from exploding.
  • Bake for 50 minutes turning once halfway through. When it roasts into a collapsible roasted eggplant, it's ready.
  • Let the eggplant cool before cutting it open and use a spoon to scoop out all the soft flesh. Place a fine-mesh strainer or colander or sift over a large bowl. and transfer the soft flesh into the strainer. Leave it to drip as much liquid, this can take 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients - tahini, garlic, salt and lemon and mix using a fork until smooth. Add the spices and extra seasoning and lemon if needed but always taste as you go. If it tastes a little bland it probably needs more lemon and salt!
  • Garnish with olive oil, Involtini spice, Paprika Dry Rub and serve with a choice of naan, carrots, bell peppers and cucumbers.
