Products used: Five Pepper Sea Salt, Harissa Olive Oil, Z'hug Seasoning

Ingredients

1 medium Eggplant
2 Tbsp SOOC Varietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Tahini
¼ cup plain Greek Yogurt
1 clove of Garlic
1 Lemon, zested and juiced
¼ tsp SOOC Five Pepper Sea Salt
¼ tsp cracked Black pepper
1 Tbsp fresh Dill
1 tsp SOOC Z’hug Seasoning
3 Tbsp SOOC Harissa Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Honey

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Using a fork, poke holes all over the eggplant. Set on a baking sheet and cover the eggplant with the 2 Tbsp Robust EVOO. Bake for 45-50 minutes. When done, set aside to cool for at least 20 minutes.

Once the eggplant has cooled, cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon and discard the purple skin. In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Transfer the dip onto a plate. Finish by drizzling some extra SOOC Harissa Olive Oil over the top, a pinch of SOOC Z’hug Seasoning, and fresh dill. Serve with naan or pita bread, carrot sticks, cucumbers, or grape tomatoes. Enjoy!
