Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 60 minutes
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 4 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground fennel
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 3 tablespoons ground almonds
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • carrot sticks
  • green beans, ends trimmed
  • asparagus spears, woody ends removed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Cut eggplant in half lengthwise, oil the cut sides and place on a baking sheet. Bake until very soft, about 45 minutes to an hour. When cool enough to handle, scoop the pulp out with a large spoon and reserve. Place a skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of oil. When it's hot, add ginger, spices and salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add almonds and stir well letting them toast a bit in the hot oil. Scrape into a bowl, add the eggplant pulp, cilantro and mayonnaise and mix gently. Serve with cut vegetables, bread sticks or flat bread.
