minutesIngredients
2 2 small eggplants
1 tablespoon 1 Babushka’s Kefir Organic Kefir Milk
1/4 cup 1/4 hulled tahini paste
1 1 lemon, juiced
1 1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon 1 sumac
1 teaspoon 1 Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Garnish:
Extra virgin olive oil
Toasted pine nuts
Sumac or red pepper flakes
Cilantro
Method
- Grill the eggplant. Turn a medium sized gas burner on medium heat. Place the eggplant directly over the flame. Using tongs, turn the eggplant every 4 minutes or so until it is tender and the skin is charred and crispy on all sides (20 minutes.) Ensure the entire eggplant is charred. The eggplant should be deflated by the end.
- Remove the eggplant from the heat and transfer it to a large colander over a bowl. Allow it to sit and drain for a few minutes until fully cooled and all excess water has been drained Push with a knife or a spoon to help drain.
- Once the eggplant is cool to touch, peel the charred crispy skin off. It will slide right off if cooked enough, if not, continue charring until cooked through. Discard the skin and the stem.
- Transfer the eggplant to a bowl, using a fork or masher to break into smaller pieces. Add Babushka’s Kefir Organic Kefir Milk, tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sumac, Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or a fork until well-combined.
- Cover the mixture and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
- To serve, transfer the mixture to a rimmed serving dish or a bowl. Top with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, toasted pine nuts, cilantro and red pepper flakes. Serve with pita wedges and/por veggies of your choosing
