Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: You can also roast the eggplant over an open flame on a gas stove or grill for a more intense smoky flavor.
2
Pierce the eggplant several times with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Place the pierced eggplant on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until very soft and collapsed.
Aproximativ 35 min.
Nota bucătarului: The skin should be visibly shriveled and slightly charred in places.
4
Remove the eggplant from the oven and let it cool completely for at least 15 minutes, or until it's cool enough to handle.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooling helps the flesh firm up slightly, making it easier to scoop out.
5
Once cooled, carefully cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Try to remove any large seeds if present, though smaller ones are fine.
6
Mash the eggplant flesh with a fork until mostly smooth, or for a creamier texture, transfer it to a food processor.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not over-process in a food processor, as it can make the baba ghanoush too watery.
7
Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin to the mashed eggplant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
9
Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley and paprika, if using.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
