Yummy Eggplant Caviar

Eggplants are super nutritious packed full of vitamins, especially when made into a yummy caviar appetizer. Here is the delicious recipe to make this juicy picnic dish.

• 

• 

• 

• 

1 large eggplant (about 1 3/4lbs)

1/4 cup tahini

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 to 2 tsp garlic paste (2 garlic cloves mashed with a tsp of salt)

1 tsp pomegranate molasses (optional)

1. Char the eggplant on a flame (use the bbq grill or the stovetop grill) until blackened and softer. Make sure to prick it first or it will burst. Transfer the eggplant to a colander set on a bowl to cool a bit and drain its brown juice.
2. Once cool, peel and mash the eggplant. Drain for 30 minutes.
3. Transfer to a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients and taste to adjust the seasoning. Serve in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and, if desired, a few pomegranate arils to garnish. Serve with Arabic bread (pita) or croutons.
