Baba ganoush

M. Elena Navedo (MS1)

For my dad, the more garlic the better.

Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

• Olive oil

• Salt and pepper

• 2-3 cloves of garlic

• ½ lemon juiced

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F.

• Cut eggplant in half length-wise and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and place cut-side down.

• Bake eggplant for 45 minutes or until the skin begins to cave on top.

• Remove eggplant and let cool.

• When cool enough to handle, use a spoon to scoop out eggplant innards and place in a blender.

• Add Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, unpeeled garlic, and lemon juice to the blender. Continue adding any of these ingredients to taste.
