Ingredients

Original recipe makes 1 1/2 cups
1 eggplant
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Place eggplant on baking sheet, and make holes in the skin with a fork.

Roast it for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, or until soft. Remove from oven, and place into a large bowl of cold water. Remove from water, and peel skin off.

Place eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and garlic in an electric blender, and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer eggplant mixture to a medium size mixing bowl, and slowly mix in olive oil. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.


(I'm going to be perfectly honest....this is the first baba ghanoush recipe that showed up in a Google search. The original is at: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baba-ghanoush-2/ . I don't know if it's any good or not....I probably wouldn't eat it. I was just going for the cheap laugh.)

    For that, you will have to see my twin brother, George_Baileys_Ethereal_Presence. He doesn't actually have an account. That's just how we type names in our family. He uses my account from time to time. he started this thread yesterday:
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1354129-baba-feels-magic-nice-potion-89dsfg98765dfgg5565

    (And that, kids, is how we pimp our own threads.)


    Oh and good luck getting info on the wife thing that's tricky stuff. Oh...and could you maybe not leave your shoes by the back door? Tripping hazard, you know....

    Serious question here.

    Where do you buy tahini??? I can't find it at my local grocery store (HEB) or at Walmart. (I live in a small rural town). I have looked for it at larger stores when I go to Austin, but no luck there either. I have been wanting to make my own hummus, but can't find this critical ingredient.

    Yeah, I know I could probably find in online, but I hate paying for the shipping.

    Do you have an ethnic aisle in your store? If you do its probably there.

    I live in a very small town too -- in my grocery store it's with the olives and condiments, top shelf.

    If you can find a middle eastern store in Austin, they should have it. There's a brand called Joyva that seems widely available at supermarkets. Otherwise, order online.

    Coffee... the answer is always a coffee enema.

    Thanks! I've been looking in the spices aisle.
