Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant (approx. 1 lb or 450 g)
- 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) coconut cream (from the top of refrigerated cans of coconut milk)
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) tahini paste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C).
- Prick the eggplant a few times with a fork. Then place on a baking tray and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
- If you want a smoky flavor, then place the eggplant under the broiler for a few minutes to blacken the skin a bit.
- Let the eggplant cool, then cut in half and scoop out the flesh.
- Blend the eggplant flesh with the garlic, lemon juice, coconut cream, tahini paste, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
