Baba GhanoushMediterranean

Baba Ghanoush

Baba Ghanoush is a smoky, creamy eggplant dip with roots in the Eastern Mediterranean. Traditionally made by charring whole eggplants and blending the flesh with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, it's rich, savory, and perfect for mezze platters or casual snacking with warm pita and fresh vegetables.
