Does anyone else know what it is?

It is my... cooking all day... yummy treat for tonight! Boys are watching the Monster Garage Marathon and I am having a scrapping marathon... and we will enjoy some Baba Ganoush.

Happy New Year!

Title: Baba Ganoush
Categories: Appetizers, Dips, Vegetarian, Vegan
Yield: 1 batch

1 1/2 lb Eggplant
3 tb Lemon juice
1 ts Salt
2 ts Minced fresh garlic
3 tb Sesame tahini
-- (optional: substitute
-- yogurt or sour cream)
1/4 c Chopped parsley
1/2 c Toasted pine nuts
2 tb Olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prick eggplant all over with a fork.
Bake whole until tender (about 30 minutes). Remove from oven, halve
and scoop out the flesh. Blend in a food processor with the lemon
juice until smooth. Mash the salt and garlic together and combine
with the eggplant, along with the tahini. Cool and stir in the
parsley and pine nuts. Before serving, drizzle with the olive oil.
Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or triangles of flat (pita) bread.

Sounds like a feast! I really don't like it all that much though, hummus is so much better!

I love hummus too, but I haven't had Baba in such a long time... had a craving for it.

I don't have any pita bread so I have to use carrots. I hope that it goes well with carrots.
