ROASTED-EGGPLANT DIP



Roasted-Eggplant Dip image

Roasting eggplant results in a smoky, earthy dip. Homemade garlic chips add crunch. Serve the dip spread onto grilled flatbread.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Appetizers

Time 2h5m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 medium eggplants (about 3 pounds total)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon minced or finely grated garlic, plus 3 cloves, very thinly sliced lengthwise
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roast eggplants on a baking sheet until collapsed and very tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel, and discard skins. Transfer flesh to a colander, and let drain for 15 minutes. Finely chop eggplant, and transfer to a bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons oil, the molasses, minced garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the sliced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until garlic is golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Drizzle garlic oil over dip, and garnish with garlic chips.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe eggplants: Look for eggplants that are firm and have a deep purple color. Avoid eggplants that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the eggplants until they are tender and caramelized: This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the eggplants in the oven or on a grill.
  • Don't overcook the onions and garlic: You want them to be soft and flavorful, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality tahini: This will make a big difference in the taste of the dip. Look for a tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Season the dip to taste: You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite accompaniments: Pita bread, crackers, or vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

Roasted eggplant onion and garlic dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, a dip, or a spread. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a flavorful addition to your next party, this dip is sure to please.
