BABA GANOUSH

This recipe turns one of my favorite veggies into the most creamy dreamy sauce. Baba Ganoush works for an awesome buddha bowl component, or a perfect dip for crunchy veggie sticks or crisp pita chips. This sauce will turn all eggplant haters into lovers. Bring this dip to your next family & friends bbq to win over all the guests.

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 400F, and cut 2 medium eggplants in half length ways. Use a light layer of olive oil to coat the flesh side and the place face down on a lined baking tray. Roast for around 40mins until extremely soft and tender. Allow eggplants to cool and then scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl.

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp Tahini @traderjoes

2 gloves of minced garlic

1/2 tsp of cumin

Juice of 1 large lemon

2 tbsp of finely chopped parsley

Freshly cracked s&p

In a separate bowl combine the above ingredients together. Add these ingredients to the eggplant and using a fork mash all the ingredients together until smooth. To make your life easier you can also add all the ingredients to a food processor, however this definitely isn't necessary.

ENJOY :)
