Ingredients

  • 3 pounds 2 large eggplants, pierced with a fork
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil plus more finishing
  • ¼ cup 100% sesame tahini
  • 2 tablespoons Silan date honey
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios or other nuts
  • 3 tablespoons grated feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • Crushed rose petals optional

Instructions

  • Roast the eggplant either over the flame of your gas burger, on a grill or under the broiler until charred and soft. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool.
  • Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggplants. Once cooled, slice the eggplants into thin ¼-inch slices, carefully removing and discarding any seeds. Place slices on a platter and press with the back of the spoon or your hands to flatten.
  • Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Drizzle with tahini and silan and top with your choice of toppings.
