1. 1

   Roast 2 eggplants over an open flame or in the oven until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft (this gives the smoky flavor). Let cool slightly, peel, and scoop out the flesh.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Baba Ghanoush is a Levantine eggplant dip — roasted eggplants with tahini, lemon, and garlic. Smoky, creamy, nutty. A mezze classic, related to hummus.

2. 2

   Mash or purée the eggplant flesh with 2 tbsp tahini, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp garlic, and salt (not too fine — keep some texture).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Roasting over an open flame gives the characteristic smoky flavor — the key to good Baba Ghanoush. Tahini, lemon, and garlic as in hummus. Leave some texture (don't purée too finely).

3. 3

   Stir in 2 tbsp olive oil and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with olive oil, pomegranate seeds, parsley, and sesame seeds.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Baba Ghanoush is served as mezze with flatbread, vegetable sticks, or alongside grilled dishes — cold, smoky, creamy. Garnished with olive oil and pomegranate. A Levantine classic.
