After making tahini and hummus, I thought I will give baba ganoush a try. I have not eaten it but the ingredients are quite basic so it shouldn’t go wrong. I kept it basic and opted not to add other spices e.g. coriander or cumin.
Surprisingly it was really bitter initially so I added more lemon and some parsley topping to neutralize it.
Kept it in the fridge to have it for brunch the following day and surprisingly it tasted better than I thought. Piglet prefers hummus though.
