"Baba ganoush is a delicious, aromatic dip from Lebanon. It’s made from grilled or roasted, crushed eggplant, tahini, and olive oil. Depending on the region, garlic, lemon juice, and various herbs (like parsley or mint) are also added. Baba ganoush is a breeze to make, with your oven and blender doing the main work. The eggplant develops an especially delicious, smoky flavor when traditionally grilled over an open flame, but alternatively, you can easily use your home oven.
