(from MotherofTwo’s recipe box)

Categories: dip

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 3 TB sesame tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 TB nonfat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • juice from 2 lemons
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 TB plus 1 tsp organic extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Cut eggplant in half lengthwise, and place cut side down on a nonstick baking sheet. Prick with a fork; bake at 350°F until soft and wilted, about 20 minutes.

  2. Scoop out pulp into a bowl; add the rest of the ingredients and mash together for a chunky texture or purée in a blender (before adding parsley) for a smooth texture.

  3. Garnish with more parsley, and drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil. Serve with warm pita bread or crackers.
