Baba ghanoush:
Syrian style Baba Ghanoush

Baba ghanoush (Arabic بابا غنوج bābā ġanūj) is a popular Levantine dish of eggplant (aubergine) mashed and mixed with various seasonings. Frequently the eggplant is baked or broiled over an open flame before peeling, so that the pulp is soft and has a smoky taste. [1]. It is frequently eaten as a dip with pita bread, and is sometimes added to other dishes. It is usually of an earthy light brown color.

[edit] Around the world

In some parts of the Levant, baba ghanoush is a starter/appetizer made of aubergine with finely diced onions, tomatoes and other vegetables blended in. It is normally served with a dressing of oil and pomegranate concentrate. In Lebanon in particular, it is made of roasted, peeled and mashed aubergine, blended with garlic and spices and topped with olive oil.

A similar dish is known as mutabbal in the Levant. Traditionally, the eggplant is first roasted in an oven for approximately 30 minutes. The softened flesh is scooped out, squeezed to remove excess water, and is then pureed with the tahini. There are many variants of the recipe, especially the seasoning. Possible seasonings include garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, mint, and parsley. When served on a plate or bowl, it is traditional to drizzle the top with olive oil.[2]

In Israel, the most common version is made from mashed grilled aubergines with tahini and spices. Sometimes the tahini is replaced by mayonnaise[3] and the salad is called "סלט חצילים" (aubergine salad).

All over India Baingan Bartha is a similar dish prepared by grilling Indian eggplant over open charcoal flame to impart a smoky flavor to the flesh and then cooked with an assortment of spices, tomatoes, garlic and onions. Served with Indian breads like Paratha, Roti, Kulcha, etc.

It is also known and loved in Turkey and it is called Baba Gannuş (literally: Father Gannush)
