Baba ghanoush, also spelled baba ganoush or baba ghanouj is a delicious Levantine appetizer consisting of finely chopped roasted eggplant, olive oil, lemon juice, various seasonings, and tahini. The name comes from the Arabic phrase baba gannuj, in which baba can mean dad and gannuj can mean pampered or spoiled. This “spoiled dad” dip is the creamier companion to hummus. You don’t need any equipment to make it, just love. The eggplant is traditionally broiled over an open flame before peeling, so that the pulp is soft and has smoky taste. Since many of us don’t have the ability to do so, the oven method works beautifully. In Bulgaria, we are known for our spreads as well. We have a very similar dip which we call “Kyopolou”. It consists of eggplant and roasted bell peppers, I will absolutely be sharing a recipe as it’s just as delicious as this one. If you love making baba ghanouj please let me know in the comments what you do differently as I love to learn from you all.
