Description
A simple recipe for homemade baba ganoush. This Lebanese classic is a terrific alternative to hummus and made with only 5 ingredients!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Medium Eggplant
- 1 lemon (Juiced)
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 3 Tbsp Tahini
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper (To Taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- With a fork, poke several deep holes in the eggplant up and down all sides.
- Wrap the pierced eggplant in aluminum foil and place on an oven safe pan. Roast in the oven for 40 minutes.
- While the eggplant roasts, peel the garlic cloves and juice the lemon. Place them into a blender or food processor and add the rest of the ingredients.
- When the eggplant is finished, allow it to cool. Unwrap the tin foil and with a knife cut off the stem and peel off the skin. Then, chop it into large chunks.
- Place the eggplant chunks into the food processor with the rest of the ingredients and purée until a desired consistency is reached. We prefer it extra creamy.
- Serve with your favorite veggies or breads.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
