Recipe Description: 

Baba Ghannouj, pronounced "Ba-ba-ga-noosh", is a popular and tasty Greek dip made from eggplant, which is low in saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol.

Directions: 
  1. Cut top stem off of eggplant and then cut eggplant in half lengthwise. Wash both halves of eggplant and leave very damp.
  2. Place eggplant in skillet skin-side down. Cover and place heat on medium-low. Cook approximately 25 minutes or until eggplant is tender when stabbed with a fork.
  3. Allow to cool. Scoop out the flesh with a large spoon and place into a food processor. Discard skin.
  4. Add remaining ingredients into blender and pulse for about 2 minutes. Can be mashed by hand.
  5. Place in serving bowl, garnish with parsley and serve with toasted pita bread.
Tips: 
  • Can be made 1-2 days in advance.
  • Can substitute pita bread with flatbread or crackers.
  • Makes a delicious sandwich spread.
