Description

Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant, roasted at 425 for 20-30 minutes
• The juice of 2 lemons
• 1 tbs. tahini
• ¼ cup fresh parsley,
• 2 cloves of garlic, grated or chopped
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tbs. olive oil
• Juice of 2 lemons
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 3 tbs. water
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ¼-1/2 cup romaine lettuce chopped
• 1 tomato chopped
• ½ small red onion chopped
• ¼-1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped

Directions

• Peel the eggplant and cut it into large circles about 1 inch across. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 425 or until soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool, about 2 hours in the fridge. I usually make the eggplant the day before.
• In a food processor add the cooled eggplant. Add the tahini, the juice of 2 lemons, ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, grated with microplane or chopped, cumin and salt.
• Pulse until the mixture is smooth. Remove from food processor and store an airtight container for 1-2 days.
• Drain and rinse a can of organic chickpeas. To help with bloating and discomfort, after draining the chickpeas, allow them to soak in fresh water for 3-5 minutes before rinsing, removing any of the canning liquid.
• Add the drained chickpeas to the food processor. Add the juice of 2 lemons, olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, water and garlic powder. Turn on the food processor until the mixture is smooth.
• Add tthe hummus to he bottom of your serving bowl. Add the baba ganoush next. Layer on chopped romaine lettuce, chopped tomato, chopped red onion and chopped fresh parsley.
• Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, fresh red pepper strips, carrots or cucumbers.
