The Best Baba Ganoush Recipe » Easy Eggplant Spread

This baba Ganoush recipe is incredibly easy to make and jam-packed with delicious eggplant, roasted garlic, and tahini flavors! This appetizer, or side dish, is a classic levant region recipe consisting of mashed cooked eggplant that is mixed with seasonings, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini. Interestingly enough the baba Ganoush we eat most often in the United States is actually something called Mutabbal. Authentic baba ganoush does not use tahini and is usually garnished with pomegranate molasses or seeds and olive oil while being mixed with tomatoes and other veggies. So not to confuse anyone, we’ll stick with the version we most commonly eat here in the US. • 2 large eggplant, about 3 pounds total • ¼ cup garlic confit • ¼ cup tahini • juice of 1 lemon • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • ¼ teaspoon cayenne • ¼ cup garlic confit oil • sea salt to taste Makes 4 cups Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Proc
