ingredients:

  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced lengthwise
  • 2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 cup tahini/tahina
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, less if desired
  • 1/3 cup parsley
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cumin, adjust amount if desired
  • pinch-1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • when serving, add extra olive oil and parsley

process:

  • preheat oven to 425° F
  • ​place eggplant slices cut side down on a baking sheet (we covered baking sheet with parchment paper)
  • roast eggplant 30-45 minutes (until fork tender and slightly charred on the skins). start checking eggplant after about 25 minutes. remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • scoop out the eggplant flesh and place in the bowl of a food processor
  • add the rest of the ingredients and blend until mixture is smooth and well combined. (you may need to stop the food processor a few times to scrape down the sides). taste the mixture as you go and adjust spices as desired. if the mixture is too thick, add a little more olive oil or water
  • store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days

based on Andrea Bemis' recipe on Dishing Up The Dirt.

{ a perfect addition: Petra's flaxseed wraps! }

I put one of Petra's wraps with my orange hummus - the wrap was so flexible and nicely complimented the crunchy red peppers & other veggies!

​some helpful tidbits:

  • Petra's recipe is simple to adapt to larger batches if you want to make lots for the week or a party.
  • as one of Petra's readers pointed out, letting the dough cool completely before rolling it out is very helpful!
  • I found using the flax meal really helped when rolling the wraps out - also, a non-stick rolling pin can help eliminate the need for the top parchment paper she mentions.
  • when wraps are rolled out, make sure to place them aside on a non-stick surface with parchment paper (or similar) to separate them - this will help when transferring them to the pan.
