Рецепт

1. First of all, you need to turn on the oven in the top-bottom mode by 240 degrees.

4. Send the baking sheet to the oven preheated to 240 degrees. Roast, turning occasionally, until the eggplant is browned on the outside and soft on the inside and the garlic is tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Tip: Test the doneness of the eggplant by sticking a paring knife into the center of the eggplant. If there is any resistance, continue frying.

5. Let the eggplants cool for 10 minutes, then cut and remove the pulp.

6. In a large bowl, combine the eggplant, fried garlic cloves and lemon juice, tahini, 1 tablespoon olive oil and grate the remaining garlic clove into the bowl.
