Baba Ghanoush

Ingredients

• 2 medium organic eggplants (about 1 pound each)
• 4 cloves organic garlic, unpeeled
• ¼ cup organic lemon juice
• 2 Tbsps tahini
• 1¼ tsps salt
• Expeller-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish
• Ground sumac, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Prick eggplants all over with a fork. Thread garlic cloves onto a skewer. Grill the eggplants, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Grill the garlic, turning once, until charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Transfer the eggplants and garlic to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, peel both. Transfer to a food processor. Add lemon juice, tahini and salt; process until almost smooth. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sumac, if desired.
