Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 15 to 20 hors d'oeuvre servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds eggplant
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1/4 cup tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/4 cup lemon juice
6 ounces peeled, chopped tomatoes (about 1 cup)
1/2 pound green and/or red peppers, diced
8 scallions, sliced, or about 1 cup
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 teaspoons salt or 1 tablespoon spiced salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spear the eggplants several times with a knife, so that they will not explode in the oven. Bake them for 25 to 35 minutes or until a knife goes into them with no resistance.
  • Slice the eggplants in half. With a spoon, remove the eggplant flesh from the skin. (It is easiest to do while the eggplant is still hot; wear a rubber glove.) Purée the eggplant.
  • When the purée has cooled, add all the remaining ingredients, reserving a little parsley and diced peppers for garnishing.
  • Taste for salt; add more if necessary.
  • Serve with fresh or toasted wedges of pita bread and leaves of curly lettuce or chicory.

This dip is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I always have a few eggplants in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.
