Is this really the best dip in the world? Because a lot of you guys seem to think so. Baba ganoush, a staple in Levventine cuisine. It all starts with eggplant. And the cool thing about eggplant is that you can roast it on top of a gas flame or over any direct heat source because the skin acts as a protective barrier. So, we could essentially burn the heck out of the skin, but the flesh on the inside will stay nice and soft and smoky. I'm adding some salt and draining it over a strainer. I want to get all that moisture out. Don't make the mistake of blending or processing this. You'll lose all the texture. Add garlic, lemon, tahini, salt, and whisk it with a fork. But the real magic happens when you start drizzling in some good quality olive oil. The dip will get airier, lighter, emulsified. I already knew I was going to love this. I would actually be shocked if you give me a better dip than this. Baba Ganosh to me not only gets five stars but also gets the special six star that I should have probably made a different color in retrospect.

A better dip that this would be to add yogurt to make it muttabbal which adds a crazy good flavour
Have you tried Tunisian Slata Mechouia though ? I guarantee it's better than baba ghanouch.
It translates to "grilled salad". Traditionally it's just tomatoes and peppers but here's how I make it :
-Grill around 5 hot peppers on a flame(stove top or outdoors barbeque fire), not in the oven !! Grill untill the surface is completely charred, blackened.
Directly seal the peppers in a plastic bag upon removing them from the flame. This will make them sweat which will make them so easy to peel.
-Grill around 3 tomatoes, an onion, an eggplant , half a head of garlic, on an open flame as well, until they are blackened. Set them aside in a bowl.
-After the vegetables have cooled down, peel them by hand, and squeeze the tomatoes to remove water.
-Cut the vegetables into around half centimeter pieces. Crush the garlic or chop it.
-Srason with salt, olive oil, and ground caraway. I like to add apple cider vinegar as well.
-Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, hard boiled eggs, canned tuna and olives.
Enjoy with baguette.
I promise it'll beat any dip you can think of.
Try smoked salad from Tunisia
