BABA GANOUSH RECIPE
Here is how to make the best baba ganoush, the smoky, rich, and extra creamy eggplant dip, packed with flavor thanks to tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. Grilling the eggplant over open flame will give you the deepest flavor. And if you have the time, allow the dip to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. It will thicken and the flavors will meld. Be sure to watch the video and read the notes for additional tips!

Steps:
- First, smoke or grill the eggplant. Turn one gas burner on medium-high. Place the eggplant directly over the flame. Using a pair of tongs, turn the eggplant every 5 minutes or so until it is tender and the skin is charred and crispy on all sides (20 minutes.) The eggplant should deflate and become super tender. supposed to. If you don't have a gas burner you can use a grill. You can also roast the eggplant in the oven (see notes).
- Remove the eggplant from the heat and transfer it to a large colander over a bowl. Allow it to sit and drain for a few minutes until fully cooled and all excess water has been drained (it helps if you open the eggplant up a bit and push on it with a knife or a spoon to help it release its juices).
- Once the eggplant is cool enough to touch, peel the charred crispy skin off (it should come right off). Discard the skin and the stem (don't worry if a few bits of the skin remain, that is just added flavor).
- Transfer the cooked and fully drained eggplant to a bowl. Use a fork to break it down into smaller pieces. Add the tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, Greek yogurt (if using) salt, pepper, sumac, Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or a fork until well-combined.
- Cover the baba ganoush and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
- To serve, transfer the baba ganoush to a rimmed serving dish or a bowl. Top with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and toasted pine nuts, if you like. Serve with pita wedges or pita chips and veggies of your choice!

BABA GANOUSH
This is something my mother loves making, especially during the summer when she can put the eggplants on the grill. The best taste is when the skin of the eggplants char because that's when you get that smokey taste from the inside. I originally asked if I can post this but she thinks it's not much of a recipe because it requires only three ingredients and there's really any prep time invovled.

Steps:
- Put the barbeque on high and place the three eggplants on the grill. Make sure the heat is evenly distributed, so the eggplants can be cooked at the same pace. Cook for 30 minutes.
- Once cooked, scoop out the meat of the eggplant (I call it the meat but it's not meat, it's just that I can't find another word for it). Let cool completely.
- Once cooled, place it in the food processor and pulse three times. If you have a small food processor like I do. split it in half.
- After pulsing, put it in a small bowl add mayonaise and mix thoroughly. Add the garlic powder and mix again. This refrigerates very well, and lasts for a good few days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Prick each eggplant a few times, then char the outside of the eggplants by placing them directly on the flame of a gas burner and as the skin chars, turn them until the eggplants are uniformly-charred on the outside. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can char them under the broiler. If not, skip to the next step.).
- Place the eggplants on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until they're completely soft; you should be able to easily poke a paring knife into them and meet no resistance.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Split the eggplant and scrape out the pulp. Puree the pulp in a blender or food processor with the other ingredients until smooth.
- Taste, and season with additional salt and lemon juice, if necessary. Serve drizzle with olive oil, perhaps some herbs and with crackers, sliced baguette, or toasted pita chips for dipping.
- Storage: Baba Ganoush can be made and refrigerated for up to five days prior to serving.

BURNT BABA GANOUSH
If you're searching for a baba ganoush that has a strong smokey flavor to it, this is the recipe for you. It's is a refinement on a combination of two recipes, and so credit to Mimi Bobeck for her ingredient list and a friend of mine who suggested "cooking the hell out of" the eggplant on a barbeque. And this works as very well. In fact, I learned that it's hard to overcook these things when I had put the eggplant on the grill and promptly forgot about it, for nearly an hour at 475°F! And it worked perfectly.

Steps:
- Preheat the barbeque to 475°F.
- Pearce the eggplant in several places with a fork.
- Bake the eggplant for 45-50 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times.
- Remove from heat and let cool about 10 - 15 minutes.
- Remove the skin, and optionally reserve a small portion.
- Mash the eggplant with a fork. The eggplant should not be stringy.
- If you want extra smokey, finely chop a bit of the skin.
- Add tahini and mix, about a tablespoon at a time, to taste.
- Add remainder of ingredients, except for the olive oil. Depending on the size of the eggplants you will need to add a bit more of the other ingredients. The result should have a half-lumpy/half-creamy consistency.
- At this point, you can drizzle olive oil and sprinkle the parsley to taste and serve warm. Alternatively, to allow the garlic to blend, I find that setting it aside for a few hours also works well.
- Spread on a serving plate and serve with pita bread.
