Steps:
- Put the eggplant pieces in a large colander and sprinkle all over with the 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Set in the sink to drain for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put a baking sheet in the oven to heat for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic, and push to the side of the cutting board. Chop the parsley, then draw the shallots and garlic in with the herbs and chop them together, until finely chopped. Stir the aromatics and walnut oil together in a serving bowl.
- Toss the purged eggplant with the olive oil and pepper. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and brush or drizzle with olive oil. Spread the eggplant out on the pan and return to the oven. Roast until the eggplant is tender yet firm and rich brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss with garlic and herbs. Serve right away or at room temperature.
EGGPLANT HUMMUS
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.

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.

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.
