Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mixture

    Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut it in half and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Discard the skin.

  3. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    Add tahini, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggplant flesh. Use a fork or a food processor to blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Adjust to Taste

    Taste the Baba Ghanouj and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic according to your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the Baba Ghanouj to a serving dish, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and garnish with paprika and fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
