Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant (about 1 pound)
  • 1 glove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Prick eggplant with a fork and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Bake the eggplant until it is soft inside, about 20 minutes. Alternatively, grill the eggplant over a gas grill, rotating it around until the skin is completely charred, about 10 minutes. Let the eggplant cool. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, drain off the liquid, and scoop the pulp into a food processor. Process the eggplant until smooth and transfer to a medium bowl.

On a cutting board, work garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt together with the flat side of a knife, until it forms a paste. Add the garlic-salt mixture to the eggplant. Stir in the parsley, tahini, and lemon juice. Season with more salt, to taste. Garnish with additional parsley.

    not so much

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I made this and it came out nice and smooth, but not much for taste. It had a bitter after taste that was really a turn off.... I didn't have time to play around with trying to fix it before guest arrived. Did not go over well at all - won't make it again.Read more

    Just so-so

    This was bland like the others said; an overall unimpressive dip. I am really hoping that it tastes better after chilling for... a few hours. Even so, I'll be looking for a better version of this.Read more

    I've never had babaganoush before and was anxious to try it. I made it for lunch one day when we had some friends over and... served it warm. It was very good and the kids liked that they could scoop it up with the pita.Read more

    Velvety Babaganoush.

    I love Mediterrenean food and Ellie's babaganoush is absolutely tasty, refined, and healthy. I strongly recommend it.

    Good

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    We liked this, but did not love it, like we usually do with traditional babaganoush. We love eggplant, but this is very... eggplant-y (even chilled). I added more tahini and a little olive oil and that helped, but not enough. Finally I mixed it 50/50 with hummus, and then it was great!Read more
