What is Tahini roasted eggplant dip?
Tahini roasted eggplant dip is a Turkish-style meze made by blending or mashing charred eggplant with tahini. Lemon juice and garlic are common additions, giving the smoky, soft eggplant a bright edge against tahini’s rich, nutty flavour.
Serve it as part of a meze spread with bread, or alongside grilled vegetables, fish or meat; it also works as a sandwich spread. Its fibre comes mainly from the eggplant, while tahini contributes much of its unsaturated fat. For a lighter dip, use a modest amount of oil and brighten the mixture with extra lemon rather than adding more tahini.
