Equipment

  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Fine Mesh Strainer
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Eggplants about 2 pounds
  • 1 Large Clove of Garlic
  • Cup Tahini
  • ¼ Cup Lemon Juice
  • ½-3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425* F. Pierce each eggplant with a paring knife at least 10 times each.
    2 Medium Eggplants
  • Roast the whole eggplants for 40-45 minutes or until the eggplants are completely soft all the way through. You will know that they are soft if you press one with your finger and it deflates.
  • Allow to cool until you can handle them.
  • To peel the eggplants, cut them in halk and use a spoon to scoop the flesh out. Scoop the eggplant directly in to a strainer.
  • Allow the eggplant to sit in the strainer for 15 minutes to release any excess liquid. See note.
  • Into the bowl of a food processor, combine eggplant, tahini, garlic and lemon juice. Blend on high for 1 minute.
    1 Large Clove of Garlic, ⅓ Cup Tahini, ¼ Cup Lemon Juice
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl down and add salt and pepper.
    ½-3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt, Black Pepper to Taste
  • Blend on high for another 30 seconds.
  • Serve immediately or transfer to a container to a container with an airtight lid and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Don't skip allowing the eggplant time to drain in the strainer. It will remove excess liquid and keep your baba ganoush nice and thick.
