EGGPLANT HUMMUS



Eggplant Hummus image

This healthy dip (which we call "hummus ganouj" ) is great with pita or vegetables (baby carrots, sliced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes). If you don't have a blender, finely dice the garlic and mash the chickpeas with a fork, and mix with all the other ingredients. Although the result won't be as creamy, that's how hummus was made before blenders existed.

Categories     Beans

Time 45m

Yield 2-3 cups hummus, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large eggplant
4 large garlic cloves (or more... I don't think you can add too much garlic)
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons tahini
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Prick the eggplant with a fork and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes or until it collapses on itself. Slice it open to cool.
  • If desired, remove the skin of the eggplant with your hands before adding the flesh to the blender. I like the skin so just drop the whole eggplant in the blender.
  • Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you'd like, garnish with paprika, pine nuts, olive oil, and chopped basil or other herbs.

GRILLED EGGPLANT HUMMUS



GRILLED EGGPLANT HUMMUS image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Vegetable     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 6-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium eggplant
1/2 C good olive oil(more if needed)
2 cloves garlic-sliced
1- 15 oz. can garbanzo beans, drained
Juice of 1/2 lime
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Peel eggplant and cut into 1/2" round slices, brush both sides with olive oil and place on grill. Let grill on both sides until flesh is softened & lightly browned. Remove eggplant from grill and set aside until ready to process. Recipe can be doubled. In a sauce pan add 1/4 C olive oil & sliced garlic. Cook on low until garlic is tender but not burned and oil infuses with garlic flavor. Put garbanzo beans in food processor, add warm garlic and oil and pulse to mix, then add the grilled eggplant. Process with the remaining olive oil until smooth. May need to use a little more olive oil if you like a looser consistency. Remove mixture from processor and taste. Add pepper. Taste. Then mix in fresh lime juice. Enjoy with warm bread, carrots sticks, crackers, etc. Also great as a spread on sandwiches. Much better made a day ahead.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm eggplants for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prick the eggplants with a fork before roasting to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
  • Roast the eggplants until they are tender and slightly charred for a smoky flavor.
  • Let the eggplants cool slightly before handling them to prevent burning your hands.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to achieve a smooth and creamy hummus.
  • Adjust the amount of tahini, lemon juice, and garlic to your taste preferences.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, vegetables, or as a dip for grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Eggplant hummus is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed as part of a mezze platter, as a sandwich spread, or as a dip for grilled meats and vegetables. It is a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional hummus made with chickpeas, and it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. With its smoky, roasted eggplant flavor and creamy texture, this hummus is sure to become a favorite. Experiment with different toppings and garnishes to create your own unique presentation.
