Baba Ghanoush or Baba-Ganouj, babaganus, patlican salatasi (Turkish), melitzanosalata (Greek), mutabal (Armenian), salata de vinete (Romanian), Baigan Bharta (Hindi) ,Vangyache Bharit (Marathi), padlizsánkrém (Hungarian) is a kind of popular Middle Eastern dish made primarily of [[aubergine]] ([[eggplant]]) , [[mashed]], and mixed with various seasonings. Frequently the [[aubergine]] is [[baked]] or [[broiled]] over an open flame before peeling, so that the pulp is soft and has a smoky taste.

Baba ghanoush is usually eaten as a dip with [[pita bread]], and is sometimes added to other dishes. It is usually of an earthy light brown colour.
==A better recipe than this one!==
After a few experiments, I've come up with a recipe that is far superior to the original in my opinion. It's not too different but the addition of more [[garlic]], frying the garlic and adding the roasted [[red pepper]] makes it more robust and adds a little sweetness too.

* '''[[Baba ghanoush with roasted red pepper]]'''

====Best recipe review====

''Turkish Hummus?''

4.5/5 

Not really an aubergine fan as I find them a bit dull, but this is a good way to eat them, if you have to.
