Eggplant-Tomato Dip

Ingredients

FOR THE DIP:
1 globe eggplant, about 12 ounces
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh Italian parsley
1/3 cup tightly packed fresh basil
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato (oil-packed)
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 pita bread

Directions:

TO MAKE THE DIP: Grill the eggplant over Direct High heat until all sides are evenly blistered and blackened and the eggplant has started to collapse, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Allow to cool on a cutting board. When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the soft flesh from the skin with a large spoon and transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining dip ingredients and process until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl.

Using kitchen scissors or a knife, cut through the folded edges of each of the six pita pockets to make twelve disks. Grill the disks in batches over Direct High heat until toasted, 30 to 60 seconds, turning once halfway through grilling time. Transfer the disks to a large tray to cool. Break each disk into four or five pieces. Serve with the dip.
