Time 40m

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium eggplant (1 pound)
1 clove garlic, grated (1/2 teaspoon)
1/2 cup black tahini, such as Kevala Organic, well stirred
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
Cayenne pepper
Red-pepper flakes
Wavy Grissini, or beet chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Place eggplant on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until soft and blistered all over, 15 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes, then cut open lengthwise and scoop out flesh into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl; press with a spatula to remove excess liquid.
  • Add eggplant to the bowl of a food processor with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Process until smooth, 30 seconds. Drizzle in oil; pulse until combined.
  • Transfer mixture to a serving dish. Stir 2 teaspoons water into yogurt; drizzle over dip. Sprinkle with cayenne and red-pepper flakes. Serve with grissini or chips.

I love this dip! It's so creamy and flavorful. I like to make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. That way, the flavors have time to meld together.
