Homemade Baba Ghanoush
1-2 eggplants
1-2 cloves of garlic
3-4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp cumin
Sound familiar? Same as hummus but made from eggplant instead of beans! Great way to mix it up, and tastes very different even with the same base recipe. Pierce eggplant with a fork several times. Roast at 350 for 1 hour. Let cool so you can handle. Peel eggplant. Put all ingredients in blender and blend to desired texture. Baba should stay lumpier than hummus but to each his own. Serve the same way or eat right out of the bowl like I’ve been known to do. Delish! A word of caution – the garlic will intensify after refrigeration, so be careful not to overdue it while you’re making it.
