Burnt Eggplant with Tahini & Pomegranate
Bumble Ward of Miss Whistle writes on her blog:
This is an (Yotam) Ottolenghi recipe I just can’t get enough of. I made it for a Lebanese dinner last week and couldn’t just taste one teaspoon. Finally, I asked the Maharishi to take it away until our friends arrived. Ottolenghi suggests using it as a condiment or as a summer salad, but I put it out with pita bread and Lebanese cucumbers as an appetizer.
Aren’t you dying to try it? Here’s a link to her take on Ottolenghi’s recipe.
