Eggplant Dip is a classic of Mediterranean cuisine. The flesh of baked eggplant is mixed with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and other spices to create a creamy, smoky, and mouthwatering sauce. Eggplant dip is a great addition to a fresh pita bread, but it also perfectly complements vegetables or even grilled meats.
Eggplant dip is easy to make, yet its flavor is rich and deep, making it a truly delicious dish. This delicacy is an ideal choice not only for vegans but for anyone who wants something special. Whether served cold or warm, eggplant dip is a great choice for any occasion.
Wash the eggplants, prick them with a fork, and bake or grill in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until soft.
Halve the baked eggplants, scoop out the flesh, and place it in a bowl.
Add the crushed garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Using an immersion blender or a fork, mash until you achieve a creamy consistency.
Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with bread or vegetables.
