Baba Ganoush

Very nice dip quickly made, served with vegetables or pita or chips.

Ingredients

• 1 medium or 3/4 of a large eggplant
• 1 large clove garlic, grated or finely minced
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 Tbsp Tahini
• sea salt
• Optional: 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, parsley or basil, chopped
• olive oil (for roasting)
  

Create

1. Preheat oven to high broil (or medium if you have the ability) and position a rack at the top of the oven.
2. Slice your eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds and sprinkle with sea salt and place in a colander in the sink to drain any excess liquid. After 10 minutes, rinse slightly and then pat dry between two towels.
3. Arrange on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Roast for 5-10 minutes, turning once or twice until the eggplant is softened and golden brown. Remove from pan, stack and wrap the rounds in foil to lock in moisture – wait 5 minutes.
4. Peel away most of the skin of the eggplant (a little is OK) and add flesh to a food processor. It should be soft and tender and the skin should come off easy.

1. Add lemon juice, garlic, tahini, a pinch of salt and mix until creamy. Add herbs last and pulse to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I added a bit more tahini and another pinch of salt.
2. Serve with pita and/or pita chips and veggies. Will keep covered in the fridge for several days.
