Cómo preparar Baba Ghannouj Smoked Eggplant Aubergine Puree
- Preheat your grill or oven to high heat (broiler setting for oven). Char 2 medium eggplants directly over a gas flame, turning frequently, until the skin is completely blackened and collapsed (about 20 minutes), or roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is blackened and soft.
- Place the charred eggplants in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 15 minutes. This will make peeling much easier.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggplants and roughly chop the flesh.
- To remove excess bitterness, place the chopped eggplant in a fine-mesh sieve and press firmly to squeeze out excess liquid. Discard the liquid.
- In a food processor, combine the squeezed eggplant, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and 1/4 cup olive oil.
- Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Slowly drizzle in another 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil while processing to achieve desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to your preference.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and paprika (optional), and serve with warm pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.
