In the grocery store the other day, I couldn't resist the pretty dark purple eggplant the produce guy was unpacking and I so bought a couple. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do with them--maybe a curry, or something Italian. Finally I decided that what I really wanted was Baba Ghanoush.
I have made this roasty-toasty accommodation special rates prague creamy dip before and lots of recipes exist for it. For this one, since I had a red pepper hanging out in the veggie drawer, I decided to roast it along with the eggplant and garlic and toss it in just to change things up a bit.
Drizzle some oil on the pan and rub the cut side of the eggplant and red pepper into it. Lay eggplant and pepper halves with cut side down on pan and arrange shallot, onion and garlic in an even layer around them. Drizzle just a bit more oil on the top of everything and roast for about 35 minutes of so, or until eggplant is soft enough that a knife goes in easily. Turn broiler on and broil the roasted vegetables for 5-6 minutes until the peppers are blackened. Remove pan from oven, cover with foil and let cool.
Once cool enough to handle, remove skin from red peppers and discard skin. Scoop out flesh from roasted eggplant--removing any large clumps of seeds ( too many seeds make the eggplant slightly bitter ) and place in food processor. Add red pepper, shallots and onion wedges. accommodation special rates prague Squeeze softened roasted garlic accommodation special rates prague cloves out of their peels and add to food processor along with tahini, lemon juice, cumin and paprika. Process until smooth accommodation special rates prague or desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Notes/Results: A great combination of smoky and creamy with a little brightness from the lemon and red pepper. You can play around accommodation special rates prague with the ingredients based on what you have, For example, I had 1/2 a red onion and 1 shallot so I put them both in, but one or the other would do equally well. One note--my pita chips are not burned. It happens to be a very dark whole wheat pita. ;-) I toasted these chips in the oven spritzed with olive oil and sprinkled accommodation special rates prague with smoked paprika and salt. This is a great healthy dip or spread for when you want a change from hummus and I like the flavor and prettier color the red pepper gives it. I will make it again.
