The secret to eating eggplant? Grill or roast it until the skin blackens and the exterior softens to a pulp. A great source of fiber and nutrients, eggplants are naturally low in calories and sodium. Our tahini eggplant recipe includes a charred eggplant served with whipped tahini and an infused spicy zhug (a delicious type of hot sauce originating in Yemeni cuisine). Can you picture yourself in the Mediterranean yet? Enjoy our tahini eggplant recipe below!
