Baba Ganoush
Baba ganoush, also spelled baba ghanoush is a Mediterranean eggplant dip, popular in many Middle Eastern countries. The smoky flavor comes from charring the eggplant and giving it wonderful flavor. The texture is creamy and makes a great appetizer or the perfect addition to a mezze platter. It’s a delicious alternative to hummus when you want something different and it’s great for vegan, dairy-free or gluten-free diets.

How To Make Baba Ganoush
