Baba Ghanouj

 

Recipe By : Diana Shaw - Essential Vegetarian Cookbook

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Dips And Spreads Middle Eastern

Side Dishes Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large eggplant

1 clove garlic -- grated

2 inch piece fresh ginger -- peeled and grated

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro -- minced

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

Pinch paprika

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon tahini

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt (optional)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds* (optional)

 

Heat the broiler.

Place the whole eggplant underneath, about 2 inches from the heat

source. When the top has buckled, turn twice more to cook all sides,

between 5 and 7 minutes for each side. Remove with a long-tined fork.

Let it cool thoroughly on a plate.

Meanwhile, combine the garlic, ginger, ¼ cup cilantro, cumin, paprika,

lemon juice, tahini, and yogurt, if using, in a glass or earthenware

bowl. Peel the eggplant and scrape away as many of the seeds a possible.

Coarsely chop the flesh and add it to the tahini mixture. Blend well.

Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon cilantro.

 

Variation: For a more substantial sandwich filling or spread, add 1 cup

cooked white beans or chickpeas along with the eggplant. Puree the

mixture to make it perfectly smooth.

 

* To toast sesame seeds:

Spread the seeds in a single layer on a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake in

a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F. until the seeds turn

golden brown, about 3 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Baba Ganouj - Middle Eastern Eggplant Purée

 

Recipe By : New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant, page 73

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Moosewood Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds eggplant, preferably thin, small if -- roasting

over flame

6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

4 tablespoons tahini

clove garlic ( 1 to 4) -- pressed or minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley -- finely chopped

salt to taste

chopped scallions

olive oil

 

Pierce the skins of the eggplants several times with a fork and place

them on a baking sheet. Bake the whole eggplants at 400° until they are

crinkly on the outside and very soft inside, about 40 minutes to 1 hour,

depending on their size. Or, for an authentically smoky flavor, skewer

the whole eggplants and roast them directly over a flame until they are

well charred on the outside. In either case, when the eggplants are cool

enough to handle, scoop out the insides. Purée the eggplant pulp and the

remaining ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Or mash the

eggplant with a fork until smooth and then stir in the remaining

ingredients. Cool to room temperature.

 

Top with chopped scallions and a little olive oil and serve as a dip for

raw vegetables with toasted pita bread on the side. Decorate with cherry

tomatoes and Greek olives.
