Baba Ganoush Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Roast the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork a few times, then place it on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-40 minutes until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Allow it to cool before peeling.
- 2
Prepare the Tofu
While the eggplant is roasting, drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes and pan-fry in a tablespoon of vegetable oil until golden brown. Set aside.

Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the roasted eggplant flesh (removed from the skin), fried tofu, salt, lemon juice, tahini, and the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
