Time 1h

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium dark-skinned eggplants (pierced with fork to let steam escape)
4 -5 garlic cloves, to taste
6 tablespoons tahini (Arabic sesame paste)
4 lemons, juice of
2 tablespoons water
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 dash hot red pepper, to taste (cayenne)
chopped parsley (for garnish) (optional)
toasted pine nuts (for garnish) (optional)
pomegranate seeds (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Broil eggplants with skin on, turning frequently, until skin is lightly charred and eggplants are fairly soft.
  • Alternately, slice eggplants in half lengthwise and place on an oiled cookie sheet.
  • Broil in oven or bake at 450oF until fairly soft.
  • Allow to cool enough to be handled.
  • Remove most of skin, and mash eggplant.
  • If you don't mind a little grayness in the color, allow a little charred skin in with the pulp; it will add a pleasant smoky flavor.
  • Fit food processor with steel blade.
  • With machine running, drop in garlic cloves.
  • Add tahini, lemon juice, and water; blend until thoroughly combined.
  • Add eggplant, and pulse until coarsely pureed.
  • Add salt and red and black pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours for flavor to develop.
  • Adjust seasonings, including tahini if desired.
  • Garnish with parsley, pine nuts, and pomegranate seeds as desired.
  • Serve with pita bread or veggies.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and lemon juice to give it more flavor.

This baba ganoush was a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try roasting the eggplant for less time next time.
