Smoky Baba Ghanoush

Recipe Ingredients

2		Eggplants (medium)
3		Garlic cloves - chop coarsely
2 teaspoons	10ml	Salt
1 teaspoon	5ml	Sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Tahini - *
4 tablespoons	60ml	Lemon juice - fresh
1 teaspoon	5ml	Pepper

Recipe Instructions

Wash eggplants and, with fork, prick them in about 5 spots. Grill whole eggplants over medium-hot coals. Turn about every 5 minutes to evenly char skin. Grill until just soft and charred all over, about 20 minutes. Cool.

Cut in half and scoop out insides (you may find it easier to peel skin off with your fingers if eggplant gets too mushy).

In food processor fitted with metal blade, combine eggplant, garlic, salt, sugar, tahini, lemon juice and pepper. Puree until smooth. If mixture seems too thick, add a little water to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasoning. *This paste, made from sesame seeds, is available at most grocery stores.

Makes 2 cups depending on size of eggplants.
