(optional: substitute

yogurt or sour cream)


Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prick eggplant all over with a fork. Bake whole until tender (about 30 minutes). Remove from oven, halve and scoop out the flesh. Blend in a food processor with the lemon juice until smooth. Mash the salt and garlic together and combine with the eggplant, along with the tahini. Cool and stir in the parsley and pine nuts. Before serving, drizzle with the olive oil. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or triangles of flat (pita) bread.

I was looking for a Baba Ganoush recipe to use up some of the eggplant from our garden; this one is similar to one my mother got from a Lebanese friend and was quite good! It was easy to make and delicious to eat, having an incredibly creamy texture and a slightly smoky flavor. I like baba ganoush drizzled with a flavorful extra-virgin olive oil. However, if you prefer to reduce the fat, the oil is not necessary. Traditional recipes call for a slathering of oil on top, but that's because the recipes date prior to refrigeration. The layer of oil was meant to keep the dish from spoiling. Today, with refrigeration, baba ganoush recipes do not need oil on top at all.
