Thanks to all you tipsters for the warning about being runny. After cooking, I drained the liquid into a bowl and gradually added a small amount of it after mashing the cauliflower and cheese. Still did not have the right consistency, so I threw in a large handful of potato flakes-that did the trick!

Fabulous recipe! I always read through the tips from other reviewers, especially when venturing into unchartered waters. Where I live, we have many Greek diners around and a festival every June, so I've tasted this sauce many times..the result from this recipe is FANTASTIC! I found the following tips posted by others to be very helpful: (1) use Greek yogurt; (2) blend by hand with a spatula-don't use a machine; (3) drain the cucumbers - rather than using the salt method which I have done in the past, I layered the chopped cukes in a large bowl between paper towels then placed a plate on top and put a weight on that a let it sit for about an hour; (4) mixing the oil with the cucumbers before adding the yogurt-actually I mixed all of the other ingredients together and then added the yogurt last. We had this with baba ganoush and hummus for lunch with various breads and veggies...I only wish I had the ingredients on hand to make gyros..did I mention how fantastic this sauce is? To coin a phrase "yummo!"

My family loves hummus and I've been making my own for many years but I wanted to try something new for a change. I read through all the tips for this recipe...Many thanks to Tyebug for the roasting technique. Before roasting, I pushed the garlic cloves into the eggplant (you pierce the eggplant with a paring knife and then push the garlic cloves in-depending on the size of the garlic you may have to cut them in half length-wise). Also, I used some of the juice that was collected after roasting, but not all of it because I was afraid it would make the dip too runny. We just had a lunch with this dip, tzatziki & hummus served with breads, pita and veggies...fantastic! Although the baba ghanoush was the mildest of the three dips, so it was somewhat overpowered by the others. Still enjoyable, though.
