Babaganoush Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Prick the eggplants a few times with a fork and place them on the grill or baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Once the eggplants are roasted, let them cool slightly. Peel off the charred skin, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Blend the Babaganoush

    Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin to the bowl with the eggplant. Use a fork or a food processor to blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the Babaganoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve with freshly baked pita bread.
