Ingredients 

For the marinated eggplant hummus:

  • 2 cans chickpeas rinsed and drained, (I used 14oz cans)
  • 4 marinated eggplant slices ingredients and recipe below
  • 3 Tbsps tahini
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil
  • 3 cubes ice
  • salt to taste

Marinated eggplants preserve - 2-3 600g jars:

  • 4 eggplants sliced
  • ½ head garlic per jar
  • vinegar and water - one part vinegar and two parts water / jar
  • 1 tsp peppercorns per jar
  • some oil
  • salt

Instructions

For eggplant hummus:

  • Put all ingredients in your food processor.
  • Process on high speed for 5 minutes until hummus is extra-smooth.
  • Add a little bit of ice-cold water in order to make it as smooth as you want.
  • Drizzle with olive oil.

How to make marinated eggplants:

  • Slice eggplants in 0,5cm thick slices.
  • Drizzle with salt and let them sit for 20 minutes to remove all excess liquid.
  • Heat some oil in a large pan. Not too much, just enough to cover the pan.
  • Add eggplant slices and lightly fry them. Set them aside on a plate covered in paper towels.
  • Mash garlic. Use 1/2 garlic head per jar.
  • Make the vinegar + water solutions. Heat water in a pot. It doesn't have to be boiling water, just warm. Use one part vinegar and three parts water per jar. I used 600g jars.
  • Add eggplant slices in the jar. Add mashed garlic and 1 tsp pepper berries per jar. Pour in vinegar + water solution and close the jar with a lid.

The prep time is for eggplant hummus only.
