Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium eggplants (about 2 pounds)
1 small garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Using tongs, cook eggplants one at a time over the flame of a gas burner (or a grill), turning as skin chars and bubbles, until completely soft, about 15 minutes. (If eggplant doesn't soften, finish cooking on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven.) Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and discard. Coarsely chop the eggplants, and place in a colander to drain, about 1 hour. Finely chop, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Using a chef's knife, press flat side of blade back and forth across garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to make a paste. Mix into eggplant. Stir in oil. Mix in yogurt and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. (Dip can be refrigerated, for up to 1 day.) Drizzle with oil before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dip turned out terrible. I don't know what went wrong.

This dip is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the texture is gritty.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices.

This dip is a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try roasting the eggplant for less time next time.

I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but this dip is amazing! I couldn't get enough of it.

This dip is the perfect balance of flavors. It's smoky, creamy, and tangy all at the same time.

This dip is so versatile! I've used it as a spread on sandwiches, as a dip for vegetables, and even as a pasta sauce. It's always delicious.

I was skeptical about using Greek yogurt in a dip, but I was pleasantly surprised. It gives the dip a creamy texture without being too heavy. I'll definitely be making this again.
