Categories     Appetizer     Dip

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggplants
1 to 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
¼ red onion finely chopped (about 1/3 cup, more for garnish)
1 cup chopped fresh parsley (packed, more for garnish)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 tsp each ground cumin and crushed red pepper flakes, more to your liking ( (optional) )
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (more for later )
A few pitted kalamata olives (sliced, for garnish (optional))
Feta cheese (a sprinkle for garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Keep the eggplant whole and pierce with a fork in a few places.
  • Smoke the eggplant. Place the eggplant over a gas flame, grill or under a broiler, and cook, turning around using a pair of tongs, until the skin is fully charred, and the eggplant is quite tender.
  • Cool and drain eggplant. Place the eggplant in a bowl and set aside until cool enough to handle (a bowl is helpful because the eggplant will release some juices). Peel the charred skins off and discard. Cut the eggplant into chunks and place in a colander to get rid of any remaining excess juices (about 10 more minutes).
  • Transfer the eggplant to a mixing bowl. Add the garlic, onion, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil. Add salt and pepper and spices (if using). Mix to combine and use your fork to break up the eggplant into smaller chunks.
  • At this point, if you have the time, it's a good idea to cover and chill the eggplant dip in the fridge for a few brief minutes.
  • Transfer the eggplant dip to a serving plate and spread. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil. Arrange Garnish with lemon zest, parsley, red onions, olives, a sprinkle of feta. Serve with crusty bread or pita bread.

Roasted-Eggplant Dip with Greek Yogurt image

This roasted-eggplant dip, made silky by the addition of yogurt, arrives alongside crisp, Herb-Rubbed Pitas for easy scooping.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium eggplants (about 2 pounds)
1 small garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Using tongs, cook eggplants one at a time over the flame of a gas burner (or a grill), turning as skin chars and bubbles, until completely soft, about 15 minutes. (If eggplant doesn't soften, finish cooking on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven.) Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and discard. Coarsely chop the eggplants, and place in a colander to drain, about 1 hour. Finely chop, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Using a chef's knife, press flat side of blade back and forth across garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to make a paste. Mix into eggplant. Stir in oil. Mix in yogurt and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. (Dip can be refrigerated, for up to 1 day.) Drizzle with oil before serving.

  • Smash the garlic cloves to remove the skin and make sure they are thin enough to stuff into the eggplant. Do this by placing the knife blade horizontal to the cutting board and garlic clove, with the edge facing away from you. While holding the knife handle with your non-dominant hand, use a fist or the lower palm of the other and press firmly down on the blade to smash the garlic. The skin should come off immediately and easily.
  • Make knife cuts into each eggplant half. Place the knife straight into the eggplant and carefully rotate right and left a few times. This will create a small opening in the eggplant.
