My crave-worthy eggplant dip is a simple yet elegant appetizer that takes minutes to make. It's creamy, packed with flavor, and accidentally dairy-free!
Pierce the eggplants and place them in a microwave safe dish, covered.
Microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Let the eggplants cool completely before discarding the skin.
Add the eggplant, garlic, tahini, lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper, into a food processor and pulse until smooth. If using red onion, fold them through at the end.
Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to serve cold.
Notes
TO STORE: Place leftovers in a shallow container and store it in the refrigerator. The dip will be good for up to 4 days.TO FREEZE: Once the dip has cooled, place it in a shallow container and store it in the freezer for up to two months.
