Babaganoush is one of my favourite dips, easy to make, healthy and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 Eggplant depending on their size
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- Approximately 2 Tblspn Tahini
Method:
- Grill the whole eggplants on a BBQ on low to moderate flame, turning regularly as the skin blisters & cracks. It usually takes about 25-30 minutes to complete. Set aside in a metal bowl to cool, juice may weep from the eggplant as they cool, retain the juice.
- When eggplant have cooled cut off the tops & scoop out the flesh from inside the skin, discard the skins.
- Add salt, lemon juice and tahini to the eggplant flesh.
- Mash ingredients together with a fork to blend. If too thick add some of the juice from the eggplant you gathered while it was cooling.
- Taste for the desired amount of tang from the lemon.
- Chill & serve with crusty bread, crackers, salads...well just about anything.
