This Middle-Eastern dip is wonderful for dipping (sweet) potatoes, cooked and raw vegetables (cherry tomatoes, mini bell pepper, cucumber) or with pitabread and crackers. It’s super easy to make by roasting eggplants in the oven. Combine it with lemon juice, tahin and Middle-Eastern spices. Top with cilantro (or parsley).
