  1. BLANCH i also add couple spoonfuls of yogurt. A family added secret. My in laws are Palestinians 😏

  2. i just had to sub since i like one of your cooking video the falafel. i got into eating falafel in New York city for many years they are delish. thanks greetings from Hawaii

  3. Thanks Blanche, yes I am going to make it. I may have to make my own tahini also, as I live in Mexico and things are not available here. When I lived in Canada I used to buy Costco's Baba Ghanoush, and loved it! OK Shalom / Salaam

  4. Hi,
    This is on my cuisine bucket list to make 👌✔️
    Iv have tried some of your dips & they are 😋😋😋😋👌👌👌
    DELICIOUS 😋

    Can I ask you a Q?
    Iv noticed on most recipe channel you measure out each items as a chef I get this but can you put the oil in dish FIRST OR THE MEASURE IMPLIMENT then measure the tahini paste in the same way as the paste will slide out better just a thought love your channel 😋😋😋🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌

  5. I love you Blanche! you make everything so simple and yet it is delicious!
    thank you thank you! a lot of people dont know how to handle the eggplant but I appreciate you telling people that they have to get rid of the bitter water. Persians use a lot eggplants and before they fry them for stews and such… it salted and sits to drain away the bitter waters. thank you and God bless you!!!

  6. I grew up hating eggplant because my mom would make eggplant Parmesan that was soft and I just hated the consistency. Today, I thought I’d try frying eggplant because they’re so healthy but I hated the consistency. It was almost unbearable. Not to mention they absorbed so much oil, I had to eat pickles so the vinegar would cut the oil. Sooooooo, I’m not sure if I’ll like this. I think I will. The eggplant had a mild flavor so I’m really looking forward to trying this. Thanks for the recipe!!

  7. I did not know Tahini is added to Baba Ghanoush. Normally when I make it I just add tomato, green and red bell pepper, spring onion, olive oil and garlic. thank you for this now I will do it your way.

  9. I was eyeing an egg plant about an hour ago. I didn't know baba gnanous was made from them. Yes. I was telling my friend a few weeks ago that we needed baba ghanous. We were eating red peppers. I bless God. Thank you for the receipe.

  10. Hi Blanche! Greetings from Costa Rica. I tried this recipe and I also preferred the rustic texture. I love your channel and all the cool contente you create 🙂

  11. It’s a toss up. Do I like your videos for your cuisine or do I like them for your beauty and allure? I think both!

  12. All cooks say it doesnt taste in the oven as good as when you roast it on the fire directly with the smoked taste. Besides we use what we call moulin to grind it so we get rid of the seeds . Some use yoghurt for baba ghanouj original recipe

  13. Hello Blanche, I love Baba ghanoush! I also call it mutabel don't you?
    I make it exactly the same way but the idea of adding red bell pepper and walnuts is great I'm gonna try it this way thanks a lot! Are you already in Paris or not yet? Take care 💕😘 sahteine Blanche.
