The first time I ever had this dish was in New York City around 1977 at a middle eastern restaurant. I loved how it tasted and how it was served. |
Ingredients
- 1 whole eggplant
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sprigs parsley for garnish
Recipe
Put a skewer through an eggplant. If you have a gas burner put on top of flame and turn slowly until the skin burns and turns blistery. Otherwise place in oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until the skin blisters.
Peel skin and put pulp in blender.
Blend well.
Add crushed garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and tahini. Mix well. Add salt & cayenne.
Put on a plate with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top with dash of cayenne. Garnish with fresh parsley.
