Directions

Baba Ganoush is a delicious and versatile Middle Eastern dip that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s made with roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and spices, and it’s typically served as an appetizer with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.

The roasted eggplant gives Baba Ganoush a rich, smoky flavor, while the tahini adds a nutty and creamy texture. The lemon juice and garlic provide a bright and tangy contrast, and the spices add a touch of warmth and complexity.

Baba Ganoush is a healthy and satisfying dip that’s packed with flavor. It’s also a great source of protein, fiber, and vitamins.

Here are some tips for making the best Baba Ganoush:

• Roast the eggplant until it’s soft and charred. This will give the dip a smoky flavor.

• Use good quality tahini. Tahini is the key ingredient in Baba Ganoush, so it’s important to use a good quality tahini.

• Don’t over-season the dip. Baba Ganoush is a delicate dip, so it’s important not to over-season it.

• Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature. Baba Ganoush can be served chilled or at room temperature.
