- 45 milliliters Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 45 milliliters Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

- 10 grams Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) or prepare a grill for high heat.
Step 2
Pierce the aubergines several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Remove the aubergines from the oven or grill and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the aubergines and discard it. Transfer the flesh to a sieve to drain excess liquid.

In a food processor, combine the aubergine flesh, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt.
Step 7
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
