I've been in the food business from a very young age (9-at the dishwashing station working my way up from there to chef). I continue to learn new ideas and dishes from others every day of my life and will keep it up till I'm no longer able to hold a fork in one hand and eat with the other:-) This was a good recipe. Enjoyed it. It is important to give it at least 3 hours in frig so flavors have time to meld. Thanks for posting.

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.

I didnt make this recipe, but we make this all the time and its very similar to how we make it. We started studding our eggplant with the garlic cloves (cut slits in the flesh and push the cloves in) and it makes the dish less bitter with the garlic cooked. Also we like the eggplant done on the bbq. This is a delicious dish, you should try it. You will be hooked.

I love baba ganoush and will only add that I used one clove of garlic and it still stung my tongue. I guess if my clove is bigger than normal it would function as two or even three small cloves. That is the unfortunate thing about saying a clove, but there is no good measure for garlic. I don't like the canned/jarred type, it does not taste fresh to me. And garlic powder is not going to be better. So maybe just start with one clove of gahlic and see how it tastes to you.

I have never made Baba Ghanoush before, and I don't have much experience with eggplant, but this recipe went perfectly and turned out fantastic! No complaints at all about the ingredient amounts as I see some reviewers have mentioned.

Excellent. I cut the eggplant in half and grilled it on the barbecue because it was too hot out to turn on the oven. I didn't measure anything, just did it to taste. It worked fine for everything except the garlic, which got much stronger after sitting in the fridge.

I tried this for the first time and brought it to a party. It was the hit of the party. I doubled the garlic though....it was phenominal!

I cut the tahini down to 3 tbsp and the lemon juice to 2 tbsp and still felt they were a little overpowering. I ommited the sesame seeds and used 2 tbsp of oil.

Don't rate this recipe until you let the dip sit over night! It is very very good after a few good hours in the fridge - i wasn't that impressed as soon as i finished making this last night. i could really only taste the tahini, i thought it was blend and that the flavors didn't mesh well. this morning - well, i had to really hold myself back from eating half the bowl. it was really good, the flavors really came together and the consistency was just right. really tasty - it didn't have as much of a smokey flavor as some baba ghanoush recipes but i was okay with that - delicious!

WoW! We grilled an eggplant but didn't have a plan for it so I made this! Fresh lemon juice, grilled eggplant, lots of salt and pepper, and the other ingredients as listed thrown in a food processor! Perfect!

Delicious! Followed recipe exactly - wouldn't change a thing. It does need to sit the three hours, though, and is even better the next day. Thank you!

Awesome. I didnt have tahini, used about a tbsp of cashew butter instead. This was a great, tart, fresh tasting dip. Thanks for sharing!

For those of you who like myself, who DON'T HAVE A GAS STOVE, but still want to follow TYEBUG's recipe here's what I did: Instead of baking the eggplant in an electric oven, BROIL it. I set my stove to between 400-450. Don't use parchment paper because it will burn, instead line a sheet with tin foil and cooking spray. You'll probably still set off the smoke alarm, so be prepared. After about half an hour it was totally charred and squishy, so I let it cool and followed the recipe exactly. ***garlic and lemon juice are always to taste no matter what the recipe says!!!*** There was no bitterness and the smokey eggplant melted in my mouth like butter (without the fat)!!!!

This recipe was almost perfect. I took another reviewers advice and squeezed out some of the liquid before I peeled it. I also added extra lemon juice for a tangier flavor.

I love this and so do my children. I never seem to have sesame seeds handy but I follow the rest of the instructions and have no problems. Also, I didn't pierce my eggplant but I found that it does NOT explode (as someone else had said).

I'm a Middle Easterner and grew up eating baba ghanoush for various cooks and this was one of the best I've ever eaten. The only difference is that I put the eggplants in a smoker for a few hours then followed the recipe as written. I also garnished it with mint leaves. My Arab and Persian friends ate it all and asked for more.
