Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash the aubergines and pierce them multiple times with a fork to allow steam to escape during roasting.

While the aubergines are roasting, peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Juice the lemon and set aside.

Cut the roasted aubergines in half and scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skin.

Step 8

Add the minced garlic, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the aubergine flesh.

Step 9

Using a fork or an immersion blender, mash and blend the mixture until smooth and all ingredients are well combined.

Chop the parsley finely and stir it into the aubergine spread.

Transfer the aubergine spread to a serving bowl and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
