Baba Ghanoush

This is the best Baba Ghanoush recipe I have had. The key here is the heavily grilled eggplants. It brings out a good smoky flavor. Even if you do not think you like eggplants you really should give this a try.

Pair this up with the other Greek and Mediterranean dishes. I made this dish with a Hummus recipe, a Greek salad, lot of pita bread (spayed with olive oil and garlic salt than cooked on the grill) and some grilled chicken (marinated in lemon juice, a little olive oil and Greek spices) when we had our friend Brian over for dinner. What a feast.

Should serve 6 as a side dish or appetizer.

2 small eggplants
1 tbsp crushed garlic
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
fresh group pepper
3 tbsp plain yogurt

Grill the eggplants till skins are blistered (15 - 20 mins). Place on the side to cool.

Place all the other ingredients in a food processor. Cut eggplants and add internal meat to the blender.

Serve with pita bread.
