Baba Ghanoush is a classic mediterranean egg plant dip. If you are a fan of hummus, you might like it too. Both hummus and baba ghanoush are very similar, except that hummus mainly consists of pureed chick peas while baba ghanoush is made of egg plant. Are you thinking of "Yikes. Egg plants!!!" Some people are turned off by the taste because of the gooyey texture. If you are one of the "Eggplant Haters", c'mon give eggplant a chance! They are not as bad as what you think. Eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables and I never fail to order them when i am eating economical rice from coffee shops. I love it when they are stir fried with some shrimps and black sauce because they are so savoury! This is a twist to what I always serve on the dining table. We hardly eat mediterranean food. One of the main ingredients in Baba ghanoush is tahini, also known as sesame paste that are mainly used in Greek, Turkish and Middle Eastern dishes. I got mine at $9 from the Jam and Peanut Butter spread section in Cos Storage. They are perfect for to serve with chips or crusty bread as side/appetizer. You can make and keep them in an air tight container in the fridge for approximately 5 days.
