Kenji's Cooking Show | Baba Ganoush

Don't think of it as a pureed eggplant dip, think if it as an emulsified eggplant sauce.

You put more work into this than my Lebanese grandma does when she makes it. You're an honorary Lebanese for sure.

[philipgallagher]

"you can like all kinds of things i don't like"

me: Damn, thats deep Kenji. I respect that.

"and you're wrong about all of them"

*weeps internally*

I'm not sure if I'm the only Lebanese that watches this channel, but it brings me such joy having someone of your caliber take on Lebanese cuisine.

Captain: Did we catch all the people who don't remove the green part of their garlic?

Garlic Police: Yes sir. We caught Allium.

As a syrian, I must say that this looks delicious, the presentation is on point.

Usually we eat this either on its own or as a side dish with grilled meat.

Also one tip I got from my mom is to leave a tiny bit eggplant peel in there for extra smokiness flavour, not too much though so it doesn't overpower everything else.

Us: So how much olive oil goes into a Baba Ganoush?

Kenji: Yes

[LightningMCB]

He cooked that eggplant on a dying star

14 minutes until my online exam started and i used them to watch your video. you're the man

[Nelbergy]

Whisking with a fork is still whisking. High whisk high weward

When Kenji said “People tend to think eggplants have sex.” Idk why my brain took that statement literally as eggplants having sex. 🤭 Not genders of male and female 😂

[eliot]

removes pour spout: has flashback to college

[-CrampedStyle-]

Thanks for making me realize that when I eat some "healthy" babaganoush, I'm potentially eating a cup of oil.

You called the garlic cops, but the lemon cops showed up.

[blackshtef]

Kenji: mentions *allicin*
*Brad Leone* enters the chat

[aylasmiles]

if I knew how to edit I would make a video called "shabu being the cutest creep for 5+ minutes"

[eliot]

on the flame of a dying grill. thats so oddly poetic

[gigphoong]

That focus while the tantrum happens in the background.

[gummydogs]

4:55 lemon with garlic is the same reason why toum or garlic mayo don't just totally punch you in the mouth with garlickyness

[harrison]

Kenji: *uses lemon juice to stop the allicin*

*Brad Leone has entered the chat*

I love that Jamon, after 3 months and dozens of videos, is finally starting to get a bit more enthusiastic about the food.
