Impress with a zesty Middle Eastern dip.
Ingredients:
  • 2 large (500g each) eggplants
  • 48.00 gm tahini
  • 65.63 gm lemon juice
  • 62.50 ml Greek Style Yoghurt
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 1.25 gm sweet paprika
  • Olive oil, to serve
  • Sweet paprika, to serve
  • Lebanese bread, to serve
  • Olives, to serve
Instructions:
  • Prepare the barbecue plate or chargrill by spraying it with oil and heating it over medium-high heat. Pierce each eggplant with a skewer or sharp knife 4 to 5 times. Grill the eggplants, turning occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes until charred and softened. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare the eggplants by removing the ends, peeling off the skin, and roughly chopping the flesh. Place the chopped eggplant in a strainer over a bowl and let it drain for 10 minutes. Blend the drained eggplant with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, yogurt, oil, and paprika until smooth. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Top with a generous drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve alongside freshly baked bread and a side of olives.
