Smoky, savory, and silky smooth, this Mediterranean eggplant spread pairs perfectly with pita, raw veggies, and grain salads. The dish gets its nutty flavor from tahini, a toasted sesame paste also used in hummus.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

2 tablespoons tahini
4 cloves garlic, peeled
6 tablespoons olive oil
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
¼ cup (60ml) lemon juice
paprika, to taste

Preparation

Mix the eggplant, tahini, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the Anyday dish until combined. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).

Add lemon juice and blend until smooth. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.

Serving suggestions & tips

If you can’t find tahini, use toasted sesame seeds instead.
Aside from serving this as a dip, try it in your favorite sandwiches to add a punch of flavor.
Tray it with chopped canned roasted better peppers.
