Baba Ganoush

Flatbread Assembly

Method

Baba Ganoush Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil and place on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast for 30-40 minutes until the flesh is soft and the skin is wrinkled. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    Scoop the flesh of the roasted eggplant into a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  1. 3

    Prepare Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 4

    Roast Garlic

    While the quinoa cooks, prepare the roasted garlic. Cut the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes.

  3. 5

    Slice Vegetables

    While the garlic and quinoa are cooking, slice the roasted red pepper and onion thinly.

  4. 6

    Assemble Flatbreads

    Spread a generous layer of baba ganoush on each piece of flatbread. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella, roasted garlic cloves, red peppers, quinoa, onion, and a handful of arugula. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
