Baba Ganoush, Eggplant Dip with Tahini

When I host a gathering at home, I notice that almost no one can resist a spreadable appetizer. This dip is delicious, not only in flavor but also because of its healthy ingredients. It's made with eggplant and tahini - sesame paste - among a few other ingredients. It originates from Arab, Israeli, and Mediterranean cuisine. You can make a large batch and store it in the freezer in an airtight container.

Roasted Baba Ganoush Roasted Baba Ganoush
Playing around with a few roasted eggplant recipes, I decided to cook them face up first to get the skins soft. Then putting them face down on the baking sheet allows them to cook in their own juices, sort of an eggplant confit, if you will. The flavor is creamy and sweet. Be prepared to adjust the flavor as needed to accommodate the Maillard browning that happens. Time for more lemon juice! Jim Kennedy -
