Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Halve the eggplant lengthwise. Place cut-side down on a broiler pan. Broil 5 inches from heat until skin blackens and flesh softens, 8–10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Cool for 2 minutes. Scoop the soft flesh into a food processor, leaving charred skin behind.

  3. Step 3

    Add tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer to a shallow bowl. Make a well in the center and drizzle with olive oil.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange cucumber slices and chopped tomato around the dip. Serve immediately or chilled.
