Baba Ghanoush Recipe

Baba Ghanoush Preparation

1. 1

   Roast the Eggplant

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

2. 2

   Prepare the Mixture

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

3. 3

   Serve

   Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and top with toasted pine nuts and parsley. Serve with tabbouleh on the side.
