“Baba Ghanouj” is a delicious dip made of smoked eggplants. The way to prepare it is very simple, much like making Hummus. You can enjoy it as a dip for grilled meats and vegetables.
Ingredients:
2 large eggplants
2 Tbsp Tahini Sauce
4 Tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
Preparation:
Pierce eggplants with a sharp skewer or a large fork. Place them on an open flame and rotate occasionally, allowing them to get charred evenly and cook through (It’s better to do this step outside on a BBQ side burner). Remove the eggplants from heat and set aside until cool enough to handle.
Cut crown off each eggplant and carefully peel off the skin and discard.
Add Tahini sauce, lemon juice, garlic and salt to the eggplants and mash well with a fork.
Spread in a plate making a small pool in the middle for the olive oil. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne powder.
Makes approx 2 cups
