Baba Ghanoush – Arabic Eggplant Dip

2017-11-01

Baba Ghanoush comes from the Arabic World (Lebanon, Syria, Egypt etc.) and denotes an eggplant dip or puree. The eggplants are roasted and then mixed with only precious few ingredients until tender and creamy. If you exclude the 50 minutes cooking time in the oven, Baba Ghanoush is quickly and easily prepared. You can enjoy the tasty eggplant dip for breakfast, for lunch and dinner – simply with pita or Turkish bread. Or you prepare a small oriental feast. More vegan classics, that fit perfectly, are Falafel (deep-fried chickpea balls), Hummus (chickpea dip) and Tabouleh (bulgur or couscous salad).
