Instructions
- 1
Char the eggplants on the stovetop or in a 220°C oven for 25 minutes, until soft.
25 min25:00 - 2
Let the roasted eggplants sit in a covered container for 8 minutes so the skins separate more easily.
8 min08:00 - 3
Peel the eggplants, drain their bitter liquid, and chop the flesh with a knife.
- 4
Whisk the tahini, yogurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl.
- 5
Add the eggplant to the tahini mixture and mash with a fork until textured but creamy.
- 6
Spread the eggplant dip on a plate, drizzle with olive oil and red pepper flakes, and serve with lavash.
💡 Tip: If you char the eggplants over the stove rather than in the oven, the skins blacken and the flesh takes on smoke; a stovetop grill pan is enough for an apartment kitchen.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle with olive oil and red pepper flakes, then serve on an alcohol-free mezze table with warm lavash if desired.
