Charred Eggplant Spread

Grilled Carrots

Green Chermoula

Method

Charred Eggplant Spread

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Place the whole eggplant on the grill or in the oven until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft, about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally.

  2. 2

    Make the Spread

    Once charred, remove the eggplant from heat, let it cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Grilled Carrots

  1. 3

    Prepare the Carrots

    Peel the carrots and cut them in half lengthwise. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.

  2. 4

    Grill the Carrots

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the carrots for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Green Chermoula

  1. 5

    Make the Chermoula

    In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until a smooth paste forms. Adjust seasoning to taste.
