The Best Baba Ganoush Recipe » Easy Eggplant Spread
This baba Ganoush recipe is incredibly easy to make and jam-packed with delicious eggplant, roasted garlic, and tahini flavors!
This appetizer, or side dish, is a classic levant region recipe consisting of mashed cooked eggplant that is mixed with seasonings, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini. Interestingly enough the baba Ganoush we eat most often in the United States is actually something called Mutabbal.
Authentic baba ganoush does not use tahini and is usually garnished with pomegranate molasses or seeds and olive oil while being mixed with tomatoes and other veggies. So not to confuse anyone, we’ll stick with the version we most commonly eat here in the US.
• 2 large eggplant, about 3 pounds total
• ¼ cup garlic confit
• ¼ cup tahini
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne
• ¼ cup garlic confit oil
• sea salt to taste
Makes 4 cups
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Procedures:
1. Preheat the grill to high heat, 450° to 550°.
2. Add the eggplants and cook on all sides until softened and roasted, which takes about 25 minutes.
3. Remove the eggplants and let cool slightly before slicing in half and scraping out the fruit inside. Discard the peelings.
4. Add the eggplant to a food processor and process on high speed until smooth.
5. Next, add in the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, cayenne, and salt and process on high speed until smooth.
6. While processing on high speed slowly drizzle in the olive oil until mixed in.
7. Serve and optional garnishes of olive oil, cayenne, and chopped parsley.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Simply keep it covered in the refrigerator until it is ready to be served.
How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Baba Ganoush does not freeze well.
If you would like to make a classic baba ganoush instead of Mutabbal, remove the tahini, and garnish with pomegranate syrup or seeds, as well as olive oil. In addition, there is no need to process it in a food processor, simply chop with a knife or mash with a fork.
You can use either raw or roasted tahini in this recipe.
If cayenne is too spicy simply substitute with paprika.
There will be plenty of garlic confit and roasted garlic olive oil left over after this recipe and both will keep in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
When the eggplant is done roasting the outside skin will firm up and be slightly crispy.

***RECIPE***
For the dip
6-7 lbs (3 kilos) fresh eggplants
1-2 lemons
garlic (I used like 5 cloves but that was a lot)
cilantro or parsley
tahini
olive oil
salt
spices, if you want (coriander, cumin, sumac, etc)
For the bread
3/4 cup (175mL) water
1/4 cup (60mL) plain yogurt (can replace with water)
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (60g) cornmeal (skip if you want softer bread)
bread flour (as much as it will take, about 2 cups, 150g)
To make the bread dough, combine all the ingredients with as much flour as you can stir in. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes, then knead in as much additional flour as the dough will take. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1-2 hours. Divide the dough into six little balls and let proof for a half hour.
Flour the dough balls and roll them out about as thin as you can, docking them with a fork if you want lots of small bubbles instead of one big one. I like to lay each one on a little slip of parchment paper, stack them, and put them in the fridge until I'm ready to grill — they're easier to handle if cold.
Ignite a bunch of charcoal, put it in the grill, cover it with a bunch more unlit charcoal, and lay on the grate. If using a gas grill, just get it as hot as you can. Same if you're using your oven — ideally, use the broiler. Pierce the eggplants so they won't explode on you when they get hot, throw them on the heat, cover, and roast until almost completely incinerated — the skins should be burned to crisp and the flesh should be dark, soft and considerably shrunken. It took me about 45 minutes, but that'll vary a lot.
While you're waiting, you can mince your garlic.
Pull the eggplants off, cut them open, let them steam out until you can handle them, then scoop out the flesh, keeping burned bits of skin to a minimum. Drain as much water out of the flesh as you can — I do this by squeezing it in a tea towel, but some people use a sieve, some people use a salad spinner, etc.
Now you just stir in as much garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, salt, herbs and spice as tastes good to you. When adding in the tahini and olive oil, drizzle it in slowly and stir really aggressively to form an emulsion. You'll want a lot of olive oil — enough to give you mayonnaise consistency at the end.
Scrape down the grill grates, slap on the doughs and cook for a minute or so on each side until puffy. If you want soft bread, pull the loafs when they still look a little doughy. I like them crackery, so I let them brown a little more.
Rip and dip.
Baba ghanoush! ???? #shorts #food #madeformakers
Ingredients
- 2 eggplants (brinjal, aubergine, guinea squash)
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- salt to taste
- EVOO and parsley to garnish
Method
1. Roast the eggplant whole over a grill (I used a gas grill but charcoal works better). Turn every 7-8 minutes until it’s black all over and the inside is very soft.
2. Let the eggplant rest for 5-6 minutes before cutting it in half and scooping the flesh out.
3. Use a knife to puree the flesh before placing it in a sieve to remove any extra liquid.
4. Simply mix in the garlic, lemon, tahini, spices and salt. Mix well and plate topped with olive oil and parsley.
