Baba Ghanouge

Method

Preparation

1

Roast the Eggplant

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork in several places and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2

Prepare the Baba Ghanouge

Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3

Serve

Transfer the Baba Ghanouge to a serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with warm pita bread.
