Babaganoush: Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the eggplants: Wash and dry the eggplants thoroughly.
- Char the skin: Turn on a stove burner and hold one eggplant with tongs. Place it close to the flame, rotating it as the skin chars evenly. This step gives the eggplant a smoky flavor, essential for the recipe.
- Repeat for the second eggplant: Once done, transfer the first eggplant to a plate and repeat the process with the second.
- Extract the pulp: Let the eggplants cool slightly, then cut each one in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
- Drain excess liquid: Discard the skins and transfer the pulp to a sieve. Allow the excess liquid to drain for a few minutes.
- Blend the ingredients: In a food processor (or blender), combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and eggplant pulp. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
- Season and serve: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
