Baba Ganoush

There are so many different ways to make Baba Ganoush that I really don't know what the 'correct' way is. But then, really, is there a correct way to do anything? I make it like a kind of humus, but then if you were to use a traditional Arabic recipe it would probably call for more of a Eggplant/Onion/Spices mixture. So this is just my take on it.


Ingredients


1 Large Eggplant
1 can of Chick Peas
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Tablespoons of Tahini
3 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons of oil
Dash of balsamic vinegar (very small dash)
Salt
Pepper


Method


First peel the Eggplant and cut into about 6 large pieces. With salt and pepper on top, roast this in the oven for about 30 mins or until ready. 


While this is cooking combine the Chick Peas, Garlic, Tahini, Lemon Juice and Oil in a bowl and blend together to make a Humus sort of mixture.


When Eggplant is roasted, cut into smaller pieces and add to the Humus mixture, then blend it in with the mixer. Once mixed add a dash of balsamic vinegar and mix in with a spoon.


There you have it. It's simple and really tasty. You might want to add some salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pita.
