Baba Ghanouj

Baba Ghanouj is similar to hummus but I like it better. Equally delicious as an appetizer or spread in a sandwich.

3 large eggplants
2 tbsp. tahini
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. cumin
1 tbsp. parsley
1 tbsp. olive oil
Salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

1) Piece eggplants with fork. Wrap in foil and bake for about 45 minutes in 425 degree oven.

2) Once cooked and allowed to cool till you can handle them, cut the eggplants in half and remove filling. Discard seeds and skin. Put eggplant filling in a colander and drain any excess liquid. Press the eggplant to squeeze out any extra liquid.

3) Mash eggplant with a potato masher (or use a food processor). Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
