Baba Ganoush Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and score the flesh with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes or until the skin is wrinkled and the flesh is soft.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Once roasted, let the eggplants cool slightly before scooping out the flesh into a bowl. Discard the skins.

  3. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the roasted eggplant flesh, harissa, black garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, sumac, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the baba ganoush and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with extra sumac if desired. Enjoy with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
