Procedure

First, wash the eggplants, dry them and arrange them in a baking tray covered with parchment paper, then bake them in the already hot oven at 180°C for about an hour and a half.

During cooking, remember to turn the eggplants at least a couple of times. At the end of cooking, the skin will be slightly dry and the pulp very soft.

Let the eggplants cool down and peel them completely, cut the pulp into pieces and put it in the blender together with a clove of garlic deprived of the inner core and the tahini. Add the mint, the paprika, the lime juice, the paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Blend everything until you get a soft and velvety cream. At this point your babaganoush is ready, put it in the refrigerator for an hour before bringing it to the table and decorate it with a drizzle of raw oil and some fresh mint leaves. Enrich your babaganoush with small strips of Sweet Paprika aeQuilibrium!
