BABA GHANOUSH
EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) dip
Ingredients
We enjoyed Baba Ghanoush a few months ago at a tiny Lebanese restaurant, sitting alongside an ancient quay in Rotterdam. I haven't had it for a while, so of course we asked the good hostess, and here's her recipe. (aka as Moutabel, a spicy version of Baba Gannouj in the Middle East)

- For your Baba Ghanoush you need one medium sized Eggplant (Aubergine, brinjal).
- One third of a peeled lemon, minus the pips, if you're fussy.
- A couple tablespoons of Sesame Tahini.
What's Sesame Tahini?
- One or two cloves of garlic. Personally I like to blanche them very briefly. It takes out the bite of raw garlic.
- Parsley, be generous.
- Olive Oil.
- Salt, pepper.

How to prepare your Baba Ghanoush.
METHOD 1 (under 10 mins)
- Wash your eggplant.
- Peel one garlic clove.
- Slice the eggplant in half and place it together with the garlic clove in an ovendish in the microwave for five minutes.
- Meantime, slice a quarter of a lemon and add to a mixing bowl together with...
- Two TBS of sesame tahini.
- A good slosh of olive oil.
- A LITTLE salt and pepper.
- Scrape the eggplant pulp out of it's skin and add to the mixing bowl.
- I like a little yoghurt but that's a variation. Chopped parsley.
- Liquidise. Done. Takes me 8 mins.
METHOD 2 (45 mins) Baba Ghanoush
Enjoy! Your Baba Ganoush will keep in the fridge for a few days. Experiment with your Baba Ganoush. Make it the way YOU like it. It makes a great spread on your lunch sandwiches, or with a green salad. PS. If you ever visit Holland, make sure you don't miss Delfshaven in Rotterdam. It's about the only part of the harbour that the Stukas missed in WW2. It's a treat. Look out for the tiny Lebanese restaurant.
