Yield Makes 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium eggplants, about 1 1/4 pounds each
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
5 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 teaspoons salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place each eggplant directly over the flame of a gas burner or under a broiler, turning occasionally until skin is lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, or until the eggplants have shriveled and feel very soft all over when pressed. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Slit each eggplant open, and remove seeds (don't worry if you miss a few). Scrape flesh from skin with a table knife, and transfer to a large bowl. It's okay if some charred skin is included. Discard skin and seeds.
  • Mash eggplant with a fork, or whisk until it is fairly smooth but still has a few lumps. Mix in garlic, tahini, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper. Adjust flavors as desired. Garnish baba ghanoush with chopped parsley, and serve at room temperature.
