Smoky Baba Ganoush

Steps

  1. Move an oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler and turn the broiler to high. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  2. Prick each eggplant a few times with a fork and set them on the pan. Broil, turning every 10 minutes with tongs, until the skin is blackened all over and the eggplants have collapsed and feel completely soft.
  3. Let the eggplants cool on the pan until you can handle them.
  4. Split them open, scoop the soft flesh into a strainer and let it drain, discarding the skins and any big seed pockets.
  5. Mash the eggplant in a bowl with a fork until mostly smooth, then stir in the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, cumin and olive oil.
  6. Taste and add more lemon or salt, then spread in a shallow bowl, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with parsley and smoked paprika.
