Preparation Steps

1

Grill the Eggplant

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Poke holes in the eggplants with a fork and grill them for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft.

2

Cool and Scoop

Remove the eggplants from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop out the soft flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.

3

Blend Ingredients

In a food processor, combine the grilled eggplant flesh, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, cumin, and paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

4

Garnish and Serve

Transfer the babaganush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
