Baba Ghanoush is another Middle Eastern dip, similar to Hummus, that is so healthy and delicious. If you are an eggplant lover, this is your soul mate:) I usually don't make it that often since I always prefer Hummus, but I tend to forget how much I love it! Basically, it is the same technique of making Hummus, but you use eggplant instead of chickpeas.
Ingredients:
2 large eggplants
1 cup tahini (sesame paste)
4 lemons, juiced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Pita bread/Veggies/Garlic Toast
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
Cut 1 inch slits into the eggplants, and place on baking sheet. Bake in oven for 20 minutes until tender. Cool for about 10 minutes before peeling.
In food processor, mix the tahini, lemon, garlic and olive oil. Pulse a couple times to incorporate. Peel the eggplant skin, and scoop the insides into processor. Pulse a couple times until creamy and smooth. Taste, and add salt to your taste.
Serve with toasted pita bread and veggies.
SAHTEIN!
