Middle Eastern Spice
FOR THE EGGPLANT DIP
- 2 large eggplants, sliced lengthwise
- ¼ cup tahini paste
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- chopped fresh parsley leaves
FOR THE ZA'ATAR OIL
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2-3 tbsp Healthy On You® While my Za'atar Gently Weeps Middle Eastern spice blend
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Directions
- PREHEAT OVEN THE 425˚F
- Rub the cut side of the eggplants with olive oil and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 60 minutes until super tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to the touch.
- In the meantime, make the Za'atar Oil: in a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the za'atar oil. Whisk vigorously to combine. Allow the flavors to come together at room temperature while the eggplant bakes.
- Scoop out the contents of the eggplant into a food processor bowl (you can use a regular large bowl and hand mix also.)
- Add the tahini, garlic and 1 tsp sea salt. Process for 30 seconds or whisk vigorously for two minutes until well combined. It's ok if it's slightly lumpy but you should get it a smooth as you can by hand.
- Drizzle the desired amount of Za'atar oil over the eggplant dip. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and sliced cheery tomatoes. Serve room temp.

I’m getting into the healthy food bowl craze after all! I love this amazing bowl of incredible flavors to create a sweet and spicy hoisin sauce, fresh steamed broccoli, tofu and noodles. Homemade hoisin sauce is so much better when you make it yourself. It’s free of preservatives and all the junk that’s in the bottled version. Double the recipe and keep the remaining sauce in your fridge, It will keep for a month or more!
