Ingredients
- 2 large Aubergines (Eggplants)
- 60 grams Tahini
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 30 milliliters Lemon juice
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 5 grams Salt
- 2 grams Ground cumin
- 10 grams Parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 30 grams Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Step 2
Prick the aubergines with a fork in several places to allow steam to escape as they cook.
Step 3
Place the aubergines on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the skins are charred and the flesh is very soft.
Step 4
Remove the roasted aubergines from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 5
While the aubergines cool, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 6
Once the aubergines are cool enough to handle, split them open and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skin.
Step 7
To the aubergine flesh, add tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin.
Step 8
Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until it is well combined and creamy, yet still has some texture. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 9
Transfer the mutabal to a serving dish. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and sprinkle with chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the soy-free aubergine mutabal with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
