Delicious and really interesting about the tahini! The difference is subtle but the pine nuts are definitely a winner!
Always love your recipes and methods that show a great way to create a fantastic dish every time, thank you!

Bon jour, Audrey!
I’m fascinated with Brittany so thanks for sharing the recipes with the other side of the world! Big question: do you remove eggplant seeds or blend them in?

In reply to Kathleen Gagliardi.

Hello Kathleen! Hmmm, goopy isn’t what I was expecting. Let’s try to solve this. Now, to be clear, this dip won’t be smooth in feel and texture like a hummus, for example.. It is a bit more “goopy” in that regard, but I wouldn’t at all describe it like goop. So, let me just ask… When you tented the eggplant to stem once out of the oven, did you keep the foil over top loosely (so steam could steam escape)? After this, did you allow the eggplant to cool for 30min?

If so, then my best guess would perhaps be overmixing could create a strange texture. I personally like mine a touch chunky, so I would just use the pulse function until it smoothed out, instead of letting it run.

Hope this helps!

Hi Audrey,
I was excited to make the Eggplant Caviar recipe, did it almost the next day after it was posted.
Something went wrong with my version, it was not a smooth paste like the photograph.
It was “goopy” for lack of a better description.
Did I over mix perhaps…or over steam…any guesses are appreciated before I make it again.

In reply to Patricia. Quite similar, you're right, Patricia! Not the exact same, but close. :)

Is this not almost the same as Baba Ganoush, the Greek dip?
