Baba Ghanoush Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Roast the Eggplant

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

2. 2

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   While the eggplants are roasting, chop the tomatoes and set them aside. You can optionally remove the seeds for a smoother texture.

3. 3

   Blend Ingredients

   Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Add the chopped tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin. Blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Adjust Seasoning

   Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed. Add black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with pita bread or vegetables.
