Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants
  • 1 cup ground walnuts
  • 4-5 garlic cloves smashed
  • 5-6 Tbs good quality no sugar added mayonnaise
  • lots of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.

  2. Wash the eggplants, and pierce with a knife in a few spots. Place on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until they are very soft. Let them cool.
  3. Peel the cooled eggplants, and tear them in big chunks. Place in a colander to drain for 15 minutes.
  4. Smash the garlic cloves with salt in a mortar till you get a smooth paste.
  5. Grind walnuts until you have pieces approximately the size of breadcrumbs or slightly bigger.
  6. Once the eggplants have drained, place in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, and mash with a fork, till everything is fully mixed.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve as a dip, with pita chips, or smeared on toasted bread.
