Baba Ganoush
This Baba Ganoush requires a few ingredients and does not require a grill or gas stove. Smooth, creamy and silky, this baba ganoush is a delicious traditional Middle Eastern appetizer made with eggplant, tahini, garlic and lemon juice.Baba Ganoush is a delicious Middle Eastern dip, spread or thick sauce made with eggplants and Tahini paste. This dip is actually very familiar with our Romanian version of eggplant salad which essentially is a dip but we eat it by spreading it on bread and serving it with tomatoes.But whether you try this Baba Ganoush recipe or my Romanian eggplant salad, or even both, I guarantee you’d love this type of dip. I usually don’t really like eggplant in any type of dish, with the exception of these dips. The flavor is so intense and nothing beats a great dip that can be enjoyed with some yummy pita chips or even vegetables.
Baba Ganoush is like the perfect dip or appetizer for a party because a basic baba ganoush is always vegan, gluten free and nut free. It really is a crowd pleaser. Serve with pita bread, crackers, carrot sticks, sliced cucumbers, tortilla chips, bell pepper slices, or celery sticks.
