Baba Ganouj/Ganoush - Eggplant Hummus

Yesterday I showed you the new grill my hubby purchased that we are loving. One of appetizers he likes to make using his grill is Baba Ganouj. I really do love that my man can cook!! Typically, I don't like eggplant, but when my hubby makes this I can eat the entire bowl.

Baba Ganouj/Ganoush

2 medium eggplants (1lb.)

4 garlic cloves unpeeled

1/4 cup lemon juice

2Tbs. Tahini

1 1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat grill to high. Prick eggplants with fork thread garlic on skewer. Grill eggplants and garlic till charred(see yesterday's grilling picture). When done cooking transfer eggplant and garlic to a cutting board and let cool. Peel both eggplants when cool. Transfer insides of eggplant to food processor or blender, add lemon juice, tahini, garlic and salt. Blend until smooth. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Serve with Pita bread and Enjoy!
