Baba Ganoush
By Yankee Magazine|Sep 21 2007|
A delicious off-the-beaten-track hors d’oeuvre. However; allow ample time for any smokiness from broiling the eggplant to dissipate before your guests arrive. Also an excellent pita bread sandwich spread.
Yield
Makes ample hors d'oeuvre for 4.
Ingredients
1 large eggplant
1-1/2 tablespoons sesame tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, pressed, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Pierce eggplant and place it, whole, 3 to 4 inches under broiler. Broil it on all sides for a total of 30 minutes. Cool; peel skin from flesh. Put eggplant flesh into a blender with other ingredients and mix at high speed for a couple of minutes. Cool and serve with small pita bread triangles.
