EGGPLANT HUMMUS



Eggplant Hummus image

This healthy dip (which we call "hummus ganouj" ) is great with pita or vegetables (baby carrots, sliced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes). If you don't have a blender, finely dice the garlic and mash the chickpeas with a fork, and mix with all the other ingredients. Although the result won't be as creamy, that's how hummus was made before blenders existed.

Categories     Beans

Time 45m

Yield 2-3 cups hummus, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large eggplant
4 large garlic cloves (or more... I don't think you can add too much garlic)
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons tahini
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Prick the eggplant with a fork and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes or until it collapses on itself. Slice it open to cool.
  • If desired, remove the skin of the eggplant with your hands before adding the flesh to the blender. I like the skin so just drop the whole eggplant in the blender.
  • Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you'd like, garnish with paprika, pine nuts, olive oil, and chopped basil or other herbs.

CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC HUMMUS

This is truly the perfect hummus, in my humble opinion. Roasting the garlic brings out its nutty and sweet flavor and cuts down on the sharpness. It's well worth the time! Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Time 1h5m

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups canned chick-peas or 2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons tahini
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup warm water
1 large head of garlic
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4") so that the tops of most of the cloves are exposed slightly. Coat with a little olive oil and wrap securely in tin foil. Roast garlic in oven for 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool.
  • Using your fingers, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into food processor. Rinse and drain cooked or canned chickpeas. Add them, and all other ingredients, to the food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  • Scrape ingredients off sides of food processor to make sure it blends evenly. If you find that the hummus is too thick, you can add additional olive oil at this time. Add it very slowly, allowing the mixture to combine fully before adding more liquid.
  • Serve at room temperature with crudites, warm pita or crackers.
  • Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or paprika before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe eggplants: Look for eggplants that are deep purple in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft or have brown spots.
  • Roast the eggplants properly: Roasting the eggplants brings out their smoky flavor and makes them tender. To roast the eggplants, prick them with a fork and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30-45 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred.
  • Use good quality tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus, so it's important to use a good quality tahini. Look for tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Add some roasted garlic: Roasted garlic adds a delicious depth of flavor to hummus. To roast the garlic, simply wrap a head of garlic in foil and roast it in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and caramelized.
  • Season the hummus to taste: Hummus should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper, to taste.

Conclusion:

Roasted eggplant and garlic hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or spread. It's also a great way to use up leftover eggplants.
