Baba Ganoush

Step by step: Baba Ganoush

• Step1

  Wrap 800 grams (28 oz) of eggplant in aluminum foil and set it directly over the gas stovetop. Cook, turning occasionally, until tender. Alternatively, roast at a 190°C (375°F) oven.

• Step2

  Remove the eggplant from the heat, cool for a few minutes and peel. Place in a blender, add 1 clove of garlic, one teaspoon of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 20-30 ml (1 fl oz) of olive oil, 100 grams (3.5 oz) of tahini (sesame paste) and the juice of one lemon. Blend until smooth.

• Step3

  Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with chopped parsley, paprika and drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil. Enjoy Baba Ganoush with homemade pita bread!
