Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 large eggplant
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 0.75 teaspoon smoked paprika

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Poke holes into eggplant with a fork for steam to escape while grilling.

Step 2

Cook eggplant on the preheated grill until skins are charred, flipping occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a baking pan, cover, and steam for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully remove and discard stems and skin. Transfer flesh to a colander; drain for 20 minutes. Press out any remaining moisture with paper towels.

Step 4

Place eggplant in the bowl of a food processor. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, and cumin; pulse until smooth. Add oil and parsley; pulse until incorporated.
