Terrible
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The result had lots and lots of flavor, to bad it was BAD flavor. There was too much bitterness from the eggplant, it was too... sour from the lemon juice, it had an overwelming raw onion flavor from the shallot and an unbearable raw garlic flavor from the garlic. I lived in Turkey for three years and I have had plenty of eggplant, this is not good, or even decent, eggplant! Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so close in taste to the 'smoked baba ganoush' recipe at my favorite local restaurant, which refuses to give me the... recipe! Love it! I found placing the roasted eggplant flesh in a colander to drain helpful, also I put it in a food processor, as I found it sort of stringy in texture, otherwise...I then folded the tahini mixture into it by hand.Read more
