sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
The taste is similar to a hummus; though my Honey didn’t appreciate my garlic breath. Oh well … it was yummy! :)
1 eggplant, peeled & chopped
1 cup spinach
½ red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoon tahini
2 clove garlic, peeled
1 lemon, juiced
olive oil
3 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon cumin
salt
Peel & chop the eggplant. Put into a bowl with half of the lemon juice, a generous drizzle of olive oil & salt. Rub this mixture into the eggplant. Cover & marinate for about an hour to soften the eggplant.
Once the eggplant is marinated, toss it into a food processor along with the garlic. Pulse until smooth. Add the spinach, pulsing until blended. Then add the bell pepper & do the same. Finally, add the tahini,remaining lemon juice & spices. Pulse until well blended. Add salt to taste.
Chill to allow flavors to meld & mixture to thicken a bit.
*Before chilling, you may need/want to stir in a bit more olive oil to help thicken the dip.
This tasted really weird. I just made it and maybe I just don't like the taste of raw eggplant. I tried to mask it by adding about a 1/2 cup of tahini but it's still not appealing. eeek.. maybe my dog will eat it??
I doubled everything but the curry because I've never like curry much. I think next time I'll skip the curry all together because it was still a bit too much. My kids liked this before I added the curry, but only one would eat it after. (oddly enough.. my pickiest kid LOVED this) Outside of the curry thing.. this is a GREAT recipe. Thanks!
This will work great for all the little leftover pieces I have after making my bacon. Thanks!
yammm... how simple, it is worth while to try! thanks....
Sounds like baba ganoush to me... Thank you
