Recipe by Chef John
Baba Ghanoush is a delicious vegetable spread using freshly grilled eggplants.
Ingredients
4 large Italian eggplants
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 lemon, juiced, or more to taste
3 tablespoons tahini, or more to taste
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 leaf fresh mint, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Prick the surface of the skin of eggplants several times with the tip of a knife.
Place eggplants directly on grill. Turn frequently with tongs while skin chars. Cook until eggplants have collapsed and are very soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to cool, about 15 minutes.
When eggplants are cool enough to handle, split them in half and scrape flesh into a colander placed over a bowl. Drain 5 or 10 minutes.
Transfer eggplant to mixing bowl. Add crushed garlic and salt; mash until creamy but with a little texture, about 5 minutes. Whisk in lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and cayenne pepper. Stir in yogurt.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 3 or 4 hours. Taste to adjust seasonings. Stir in mint and parsley.
