From: [email protected] (Micaela Pantke) Date: Thu, 2 Sep 93 13:29:25 +0200 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: [email protected] (Stephanie da Silva) BABA GHANOUSH / EGGPLANT WITH TAHINI ==================================== Ingredients: ------------ 3 large eggplants 2-4 cloves garlic, or to taste Salt 1/2 cup tahini or less, depending on size of eggplants juice of 3 lemons, or more to taste 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional) 2 tblsp finely chopped parsley A few black olives or 1 tomato, thinly sliced, to garnish Instructions: ------------- Cook the eggplants over charcoal or under a gas or electric broiler (sear until skins are black and start to blister with the flesh soft and juicy, rub skins off under cold water taking care to remove any charred particles, then gently squeeze out as much of the bitter juice as possible). Crush the garlic cloves with salt. Mash the eggplants with a potato masher or fork, then add the crushed garlic and a little more salt, and pound to a smooth, creamy puree. Alternatively, use an electric blender to make the puree. Add the tahini and lemon juice alternatively, beating well or blending for a few seconds between each addition. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, garlic, or tahini if you think it is necessary, and if you like, a little cumin. Pour the cream into a bowl or a few smaller serving dishes. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and black olives, or with a few tomato slices. Serve as an appetizer with Arab or other bread, as a salad, or as a party dip. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
