Baba Ganoush
Middle Eastern eggplant cream with tahini and cumin.
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 250 °C convection. Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes until the skin blisters and blackens — turn once halfway through.
-
2
Remove the baking sheet and let the eggplants rest for 10 minutes until cool enough to handle. Halve them lengthwise, scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon and add it directly to the Vitamix container. If a lot of liquid has released, let the flesh drain briefly in a sieve first.

Add garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, olive oil and sesame oil. Secure the lid, start the Vitamix and blend on the highest setting for 30 seconds until a smooth cream forms.

Toast the sesame seeds dry in a pan over medium heat until golden brown — do not leave the pan, the seeds burn in seconds. Meanwhile, break open the pomegranate and remove the seeds, wash the parsley and pick off the leaves.
