How to Make Baba Ganoujh Eggplant Salad With Tehina

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pierce the eggplant all over with a fork. Roast the eggplant directly on the oven rack for about 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is completely collapsed and the flesh is soft.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.
  4. Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to the bowl with the eggplant flesh.
  5. Using a food processor or immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth and creamy. If using a food processor, scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, garlic, salt, or pepper to your preference.
  7. Transfer the Baba Ganoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with paprika (optional).
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy with warm pita bread, hummus, and a side of Israeli salad.
