If there's no hummus in my fridge, I'm making baba ganoush. This tasty eggplant dip is very easy to make and goes well with flatbread, on a sandwich or as a side dip.
Ingredients
- 2 eggplants (brinjal, aubergine, guinea squash)
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- salt to taste
- EVOO and parsley to garnish
Directions
Roast the eggplant whole over a grill (I used a gas grill but charcoal works better). Turn every 7-8 minutes until it’s black all over and the inside is very soft.
- Let the eggplant rest for 5-6 minutes before cutting it in half and scooping the flesh out.
- Use a knife to puree the flesh before placing it in a sieve to remove any extra liquid.
- Simply mix in the garlic, lemon, tahini, spices and salt. Mix well and plate topped with olive oil and parsley.
