Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggplants, halved lengthwise
1 head garlic
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup tahini
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ounce pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Arrange eggplants, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  • Cut about 1/4 inch off the top portion of the garlic, exposing the cloves. Place garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap foil around garlic, sealing the edges together.
  • Roast the eggplant and garlic in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes; remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
  • Scoop the flesh from the roasted eggplant and put in a food processor. Remove roasted garlic cloves from the peels and add to food processor. Add yogurt, parsley, tahini, salt, and pepper to food processor; blend until spread is smooth. Transfer spread to a serving bowl.
  • Cook and stir pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Top spread with toasted pine nuts.

Mine turned out a little too runny. Maybe next time I'll roast the eggplant for a bit longer.

I omitted the garlic because I have a sensitive stomach. It was still very flavorful!
