Weaam'S Baba Ghanouj - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large eggplant
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
salt to taste
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons yogurt
1 tablespoon walnuts, crushed, or more to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Prick the skin of the eggplant in several places and place on the baking sheet.
Roast eggplant in the preheated oven until tender and skin is blistered and blackened, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool until easier to handle, about 10 minutes.
Cut the eggplant in half, scoop out the pulp and cut into pieces. Discard any seeds.
Mash garlic and salt into a paste using a mortar and pestle. Add eggplant pieces and mash until smooth. Stir in tahini, pomegranate molasses, yogurt, and walnuts, mixing well to combine. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill.
