INGREDIENTS

1 Large Eggplant
1/2 cup Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper Powder (Optional)

1/4 cup Olive Oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1
1. Roast the whole eggplant on a grill or fire until the skin is charred and the juices start to ooze out or bake it in an oven at 425F for 45 minutes.
2. Set roasted eggplant aside to cool for a few minutes.
3. Fry the garlic cloves in olive oil over low heat until soft and golden. This also infuses the Olive oil with amazing garlic flavor.
4. Once the garlic is fried, set aside 2 tablespoons of the Olive oil for garnishing at the end.
5. Peel the roasted eggplant and chop it into small chunks.
6. Add the eggplant, tahini, fried garlic, lemon juice, cayenne powder, cumin powder, and salt to a blender and blend. Slowly add the Olive oil until it emulsifies with the eggplant mixture.
7. Adjust the salt, lemon juice, and spiciness if required.
8. Baba Ganoush is ready to be served.
9. Garnish with olive oil, za'atar, and parsley/cilantro.
