🍆 Smoky Eggplant & Roasted Garlic Dip

(Rough, creamy, deeply roasted — this is dip with soul.)

This isn’t your smooth, factory-style spread. This dip has texture, roasted edges, and visible garlic you can taste. Charred eggplant and slow-roasted garlic come together with olive oil and lemon for something smoky, rich, and unapologetically rustic.

📝 Ingredients (serves 4–6):
• 2 medium eggplants
• 1 whole garlic bulb
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp tahini (optional for extra creaminess)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• Optional: toasted pine nuts or herbs for topping

🔥 Instructions:
1. Roast the vegetables:
Prick eggplants with a fork. Wrap garlic bulb in foil. Roast both at 400°F (200°C) — eggplant for ~40 min until collapsed; garlic for ~30 min until soft.
2. Scoop & mash:
Scoop eggplant flesh into a bowl. Squeeze in the roasted garlic. Add olive oil, lemon juice, tahini (if using), and salt. Mix roughly with a fork or spoon — keep the texture uneven and honest.
3. Serve rustic:
Spoon into a rough ceramic bowl. Drizzle more olive oil on top. Scatter pine nuts if you like. Tear bread, dip messy, enjoy loud.
