Eggplant Base

Toppings

Flatbread

Method

Prepare Eggplant Base

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the eggplant halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30-40 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Make the Baba Ganoush

    Once the eggplant is roasted and cooled, scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add minced garlic, tahini, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the salt to taste.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 3

    Chop the Toppings

    Dice the farm tomatoes and cucumber, and thinly slice the radish. Set aside for garnish.

  2. 4

    Prepare Macadamia Nut Cheese

    If the macadamia nut cheese is not pre-made, soak raw macadamia nuts overnight, blend with nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and salt to taste until creamy.

Prepare Flatbread

  1. 5

    Toast the Flatbread

    Brush each piece of flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle with za'atar seasoning. Toast in a hot skillet or oven until warm and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Serve the Baba Ganoush

    Spread the baba ganoush onto a serving platter. Top with diced tomatoes, cucumber, radish, and dollops of macadamia nut cheese. Serve with the toasted flatbread on the side.
