Baba Ganoush (creamy eggplant dip)

In our family, eggplant dip is a synonym for baba ganoush, a popular Levantine dish made with roasted eggplant and served as a "meze," aka appetizer, on a platter with pita bread and other dips, falafel, and small dishes.

⭐️ Ingredients
2 medium (1.1 kilograms) eggplants (about 2½ pounds) (+ 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ pepper to season them before roasting)
3 tablespoons tahini (made with 100% hulled sesame seeds)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
½ clove garlic (or more to taste)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon mint (optional, finely chopped)
1 tablespoon olive oil (to drizzle on top)

As an Arabic person from the levant region, this is called muttabal and baba ghanouj is the eggplant dip that has diced vegetables in it. It has been lost in translation in the west and with Arabs who went abroad, but the correct term for this type of eggplant dip is muttabal. They are two very different but equally delicious versions

Tahini makes almost everthing tasty. I love eggplants grilled and then add tahini to it with some more seasoning

We, Srilankans make it with Yogurt and grated fresh coconut. We add Smoked or boiled aubergine flesh, salt chopped small onions green chillies coriander leaves curry leaves and lime juice too. We make the same with boiled potato too

Chef Nico, we do this very often and it’s not dangerous at all. Just turn on the suction fan and there you go

Tip: Make vertical cuts in your egg plant and stuff them with cloves of garlic. Wrap the eggplant with foil and roast it over a low frame for 10-15 minutes, rotating it on all sides periodically.
Once you have removed it from the frame unwrap the egg plant and remove the skin of the eggplant a d then mash it along with the roasted garlic.
I usually use this technique which is less messy and allows the ingredients to emulsify. Add the mixture to a bowl, add yogurt, spices, lemon and Tahini.

In Egypt we add a chopped green pepper or two depending on the amount, it’s the original recipe. Onetime I added yoghurt too and it was amazing!

It is called mutabal.. Baba Ganoush is different from it and is made of grilled eggplant and vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, peppers, parsley..etc

the best way to cook eggplant is on the stove top to get the charred smoky flavour
