Description

While hummus is made from blended chickpeas, it’s closely related to baba ghanoush, a dip of roasted and pureed eggplant. Combining both gives this spread the creamy, thick texture of hummus with the earthy smokiness of eggplant.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 13x9-in. baking pan with foil; set aside.

  2. Cut eggplant lengthwise in half. Score a crisscross pattern onto cut sides of eggplant with tip of a sharp knife, making cuts about ½-in. deep. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil; season with ¼ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper. Place in prepared baking pan, cut sides up. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until fork-tender. Cool for 15 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, place cucumber, tomatoes, pickled onions, 1 Tbsp. pickled onions brine and mint in a medium bowl; toss to coat and set aside.

Drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Arrange pita crackers on other half of board or platter. Serve immediately.
