One of my favourite Mediterranean dishes which is known under a variety of names, commonly under the name of Baba Ghanoush a delicious smoky aubergine blended up with tahini and lemon juice that can be served as side dish, salad, dip or mezze with grills, it is somehow similar to Za’alouk (a North African salad).
Baba ghanoush in Arabic means ghanouj Dad 😀 who was a religious old man they say that one of his students made him a platter of smoked aubergine with tahini but baba ghanouj was generous and invited whole village to try it, people liked it and named it after his name ‘’Baba Ghanouj‘’ Well I heard the story for the first time in Egypt and I’m not sure whether it is true or not but if you are reading the story for your first time leave me a comment 😉
In this recipe I’ll be showing you one of the restaurants style with the addition of yoghurt, it was given to me by a chef in Cairo.
Here is the step by step Recipe:
-
Step 1: Grill the aubergine over a gas hob, until the skin completely blacked and the flesh soften, get your ingredients ready.
-
Step 2: Peel off the cooked skin from the flesh using your fingers or knife.
-
Step 3: Mash the aubergine flesh using a fork in a bowl.
-
Step 4: Mix the remaining ingredients with the mashed aubergine flesh very well; taste it and add more if necessary.
