How To Prepare Baba Ganoush (grilled Or Baked) ?

Preparation:
Preparation time: 20 mins
Recipe 中文 Cooking time: 50 mins
Serving: 2
Ingredients:
2 large eggplants ( 1.5 to 1.75 lbs. each)
2 garlic cloves, finely minced (use a garlic press)
4 tablespoons tahini paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
optional: 2 tablespoons plain full-fat yogurt
Garnishes
Olive oil, homemade zaatar spice, dukkah, fresh herbs like parsley, olives, toasted pita bread, or fresh veggies (cucumber, tomato, carrot sticks, bell pepper, etc.).
Instructions:
Grill Method
Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 425 F
Make a foil packet with wood chips for smoking. Wrap ½ cup of wood chips (mesquite, alder, and apple) in heavy-duty foil and pierce the top, creating an opening in the foil so smoke can escape. Place this on the grill. See photos.
With a sharp paring knife cut 1-2 inch deep slits into the eggplant, all over especially around the bigger bottom area. This will allow them to cook more evenly, and help the smoke penetrate the eggplant.
When the foil packet is smoking, ...
... place the eggplant directly on the grill, and close the grill. Turn eggplant every 10 minutes or so and let the skin char. Grill until eggplant has collapsed and feels tender on the inside. This will take about 20 minutes.
Place the eggplant along with the smoking foil packet in a large bowl or large pan and cover tightly with foil. Let sit until cool enough to handle about 20 minutes.
Save all the smoky liquid that is under the eggplant in the bowl. Peel the charred skin off the eggplant and using a knife, chop up the tender flesh. Place the eggplant in a strainer and strain the eggplant flesh for 10 minutes. Discard this liquid. (I know this may seem counter-intuitive – but you will be adding some of the “smoky” liquid from the first bowl back in.)
Place the drained eggplant in a mixing bowl. You should have 2 cups (or 2 ¼ cups) of eggplant flesh. If you have less, see notes.
Add the tahini paste, garlic, lemon, salt and 1-2 tablespoons (or more to taste) of the smoky liquid reserved from the bowl.
Mix, taste, and adjust salt, lemon. For a delicious richness, add 2-3 tablespoons of plain yogurt (optional). Stir with a fork until relatively smooth. Refrigerate until serving.
Oven Roasting Method
Preheat oven to 450F ( 425F if electric oven)
Slice eggplants in half, lengthwise and roast with flesh side down, on a parchment-lined sheet pan on the middle rack, until very tender, about 45-60 minutes. Test by piercing the skin with a fork, and continue roasting until the flesh is very tender and collapsing. Let cool.
Scoop out flesh, drain in a strainer for 10 minutes. You should have about 2 cups, if less, see notes.
Mash with a fork and add the remaining ingredients. To achieve the smoky flavor, add a ¼- ½ teaspoon of liquid smoke.
Adjust salt and lemon to taste. Stir in optional yogurt.
To serve
Place in a shallow serving bowl, make a circular “well” with the back of a spoon, and drizzle with olive oil, and your choice of aleppo chili flakes, zaatar spice, dukkah, or sumac.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
Serve with warm pita bread and/or veggies.
