Hey guys! How are you all doing?!
I just made this Baba Gaboush dip about an hour ago, so it´s fresh. I had 3 eggplants and one I have reserved on th side so I could make this as a dip or spread. We love this at home and whenever I can, I make this from time to time. I learned to make this from a lebanese couple who had a bakery in Lagos, Nigeria. We live there as expats late 80s and she lady owner gave me a recipe which is actually very easy to make.
The main ingredient is an eggplant. With a fork, I pressed it on the skin of the eggplant to make strips all over this vegetable , then put it in the microwave and cooked for about 5 minutes until soft. Then poured cold water to remove the stripped skin. Removed the trunk and placed in a blender , added 2 tablespoons Tahini or sesame paste, juice of 1/2 lemon, salt and pepper and cumin powder. If you are making this, taste the spices if ok according to your preference. Arrange on a plate and pour a bit of olive oil on top . Now it is ready!
