Grill or Roast the Eggplant.


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Place eggplant on baking sheet, and make holes in the skin with a fork. Roast it for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, or until soft. Remove from oven, and place into a large bowl of cold water. Remove from water, and peel skin off.

Or just let it cool down/finish cooking.

Remove skin.

Squeeze juice from flesh.

The ingredients for our Baba Ghanoush are:
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 plus 1 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini
1 pound eggplants, roasted
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Mix everything except the 1 tablespoon of olive oil and refrigerate a few hours.

The extra tablespoon of olive oil can be used to top it when used as a dip.
