Baba Ganoush Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Roast the Eggplant

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the eggplants with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until the eggplants are soft and the skin is charred. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Roasted Tomatoes

   If you're using fresh tomatoes, halve them and roast them in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper until caramelized (about 20-25 minutes). If using canned or pre-roasted tomatoes, simply set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Baba Ganoush

   Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add tahini, pomegranate molasses, roasted tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Prepare the Garlic Yogurt

   In a bowl, mix yogurt with minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well and set aside.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving dish. Top with garlic yogurt, chopped pickled chili, and dill. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
