Baba Ganoush - Smoky Eggplant Dip
Baba ganoush is a dip made from fire-roasted eggplant whose name translates to pampered father. The eggplant is charred over an open flame, giving it a smoky flavour.
The flesh is blended with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Lighter and smokier than hummus, it is served with pita bread as part of a mezze spread.
