Baba Ganoush Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Grill the Eggplant

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Poke a few holes in the eggplant with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place the eggplant on the grill and cook for about 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft.

2. 2

   Prepare the Eggplant

   Once the eggplant is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.

3. 3

   Blend the Ingredients

   In the bowl with the eggplant flesh, add tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, ground cumin, and paprika. Use a fork or a food processor to blend until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Taste and Adjust

   Taste the baba ganoush and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice or salt to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving dish. Drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
