Baba Ganoush is a creamy roasted eggplant dip that tastes great when served with carrots or cucumber sticks.
Prep Time5 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time50 minsDifficultyBeginnerYields18 Servings 23 eggplants (900 g), about 2-3 eggplants
0.25 cup tahini (4 tbsps)
0.25 cup lemon juice (65ml)
0.25 cup fresh parsley (4 tbsps chopped)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (optional)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt
2 garlic cloves
1Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC.
2Place the eggplants onto a lined baking sheet and pierce the skin with a knife. This helps steam escape while the eggplants roast.
3Cook for 40-45 minutes or until they’re soft. Remove from the oven and cool 10 to 15 minutes until easily handled.
4Chop the roasted eggplants and add them to a food processor or a blender along with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
5You could serve it immediately, but it tastes nice cold. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days. Add some paprika and chopped fresh parsley on top and serve with some crudités (cucumber, red bell pepper and carrot).
