Try Baba Ghanoush For Exotic Middle Eastern Flavor<\/p>\n

Author: <\/strong>RA Butters<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Baba ghanoush is a culinary classic with a texture and flavor as exotic as it’s name, but it’s far from a chefs-only dish. This exquisite dip is actually fast and simple to prepare, but to get the best results it’s important to start with the best ingredients.<\/p>\n

Baba ghanoush is a soft, chunky paste of mashed roasted eggplant and tahini, or sesame seed paste. The dish is believed to have originated centuries ago in the eastern Mediterranean\/Western Asian Levant area. It remains a favorite throughout the Middle East, where is generally served with pita bread.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Start With The Eggplant: Chose It Well and Roast It Right<\/strong>
\nThe most important ingredient in Baba Ganoush is the eggplant, so choose it carefully. Look for one that’s medium sized and shaped like a longish oval, light in weight with an unblemished, glossy skin. Wash and dry the eggplant before roasting, being careful not to pierce the skin.<\/p>\n

Roasting the eggplant over an open flame gives it a deep, deliciously smoky flavor. An outdoor grill is ideal, but if you have a gas stove you can do your roasting right in your kitchen; just cover the burner pan with some sheets of aluminum foil to catch any drips and make cleanup quick and easy.<\/p>\n

Place the whole eggplant on a rack above the coals if you’re roasting outdoors, or directly on the burner if you’re roasting in the kitchen. Your goal is to flame-roast the eggplant until the skin is blackened and papery and the flesh is tender, which will take around ten minutes. Stay close by and keep a close eye on the eggplant while it’s roasting, and turn it every couple of minutes to make sure it roasts evenly.<\/p>\n

When the eggplant is perfectly roasted, remove it from the flame. Let it cool for a few minutes, then cut it in half lengthwise and put it in a strainer over a bowl to allow the fluids to drain for about 30 minutes. When the eggplant halves have cooled enough to make them easy to handle, gently scoop out the flesh with a spoon.<\/p>\n

To prepare the flesh, chop it coarsely with a large knife – this will retain the texture of the eggplant. Now its ready to become Baba Ghanoush!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Baba Ghanoush<\/strong>
\n– The flesh of one roasted medium-sized eggplant, coarsely chopped
\n– 1\/3 cup of tahini
\n– juice of 1\/2 lemon
\n– 2 garlic cloves, minced fine
\n– 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped fine
\n– salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Combine all ingredients but don’t over mix. Serve at room temperature with grilled or toasted pita bread, crackers, flatbread, pita chips, or thin slices of french bread, toasted.<\/p>\n
