Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roasting the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplants with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Mixture

    Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and cumin. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Final Touches

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika and parsley on top.
