Baba Ganoush
If you know me, you know I love anything with eggplants! Recently I made baba ganoush for the first time, and I can’t stop making it! It’s perfect for falafel wraps or just to each with pita. I personally love to dip the baba ganoush with carrots as a snack.
My preference is to cook the eggplant directly on the flame of a gas stove. This will get the smokiest flavor. But the eggplant can also be roasted in the oven or grilled. I turn the eggplant every few minutes on the stove until all sides are chared and you can stick a fork through the eggplant. Once the eggplant is cooled down a bit, removed the skin and use a fork to mash up the inside. I add minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, tahini, salt, and red crush pepper to the mashed eggplant. That’s it! Once served in a plate, I drizzle a bit of evoo on top! I also like to top with pomegranate seeds if I have some!
