Marhaba all,
I do not know why I feel like joking today, not only right this minute, but all day long :)
Could it be because I am preparing Baba Ghannouj (pampered papa), a long hard run, or because it is the beginning of fall season. Hearts Hearts Hearts
Ingredients:
1 big eggplant
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp plain yoghurt
1 lemon juice
1 minced garlic
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
A handful of fresh cilantro
Olive oil
Preparation:
Wash eggplant, poke a hole inside the eggplant. Leave skin on. Grill or bake eggplant for about an hour. *I love to grill mine. It gives it a smoky flavor.
For grilling: Takes about 40 minutes
For baking on 375 degrees F: Takes about an hour
Prepare a deep bowl. Let the eggplant cool. Remove the skin of the eggplant and place in the bowl. Use a wooden or marble mallet to mush/soften the eggplant. Add salt to the eggplant, yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, and cilantro. Mis all ingredients.
Serve on a platter, a bowl, or create your own serving plate.
Drizzle olive oil
Serve with toasted or soft pita.
Sahtein/Enjoy
