Black-Tahini and Eggplant Dip

A twist on the classic Baba Ghanoush.

Makes 1 1/2 cups 

Ingredients:

1 medium eggplant (1 pound)

1 clove garlic, grated (1/2 teaspoon)

1/2 cup black tahini, such as Kevala Organic, well stirred

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Kosher salt

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

Cayenne pepper

Red-pepper flakes

Grissini, or beet chips, for serving.

Sprinkle with cayenne and red-pepper flakes. Serve with grissini or chips.
