Baba Ganuj Recipe

Baba Ganuj

Baba Ganuj Ingredients:
1 large aubergine/eggplant
1 clove garlic
1/2 tomato
2 tbsp parsley
3 tbsp tahini/sesame paste
1/2 lemon juice
Olive oil
Salt
Baba Ganuj Method:
Remove the green from around the neck of the aubergine, but leave the stem. Place in a hot oven until soft - approx 15-20 minutes - or hold onto stem and place over open grill or hotplate, turning from time to time until aubergine has softened. Allow to cool.
Remove the skin carefully, while holding the stem. Mash the pulp thoroughly with a fork or place in the blender and slowly beat in lemon juice alternately with tahini.
Crush garlic with salt and mix to a paste, chopped tomatoe and blend into the eggplant mixture. Adjust salt. Pour into shallow serving dishes or platters and garnish with chopped parsley.
