Total Calories: 25
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 medium eggplant
1/4 cup sesame tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice or to taste
1 clove garlic pressed or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
paprika

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Wash the eggplant, pierce it all over with a fork, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour or until very soft.
3. When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl. Discard the skin.
4. Using a fork, mash the eggplant to a thick, chunky paste. Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and olive oil, and mix well.
5. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, sprinkle with parsley and paprika, and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container up to three days.

For a Change . . .
* For an authentic version of baba ganoush, cook the eggplant on an outdoor grill over medium heat. Turn it often until charred on the outside and soft on the inside.
