Smoked Eggplant Aioli

Method

Chickpea Panisse

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a saucepan, whisk together chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Set the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cut and Fry

    Once cooled, cut the panisse into desired shapes. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and fry the pieces until golden brown on both sides.

Roasted Garlic Tahini Sauce

  1. 5

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine tahini, roasted garlic, lemon juice, water, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to reach desired consistency.

Smoked Eggplant Aioli

  1. 6

    Roast Eggplant

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork and roast it until soft, about 30-40 minutes.

  2. 7

    Blend Aioli Ingredients

    Allow the eggplant to cool, then scoop out the flesh. In a blender, combine eggplant flesh, garlic, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
