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.

The [[Baba ghanoush|original baba ghanoush recipe can be found here]], but I think this version is more interesting and has a degree of sweetness.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 2 [[aubergines]]
| Half a [[red pepper]]
| 2 heaped tablespoons light [[tahini]]
| 4 fat [[cloves garlic, peeled and crushed]]
| 4 tablespoons of olive oil
| 3 tablespoons [[yogurt]]
| Juice and zest from half a [[lemon]] or [[lime]]
| A good pinch of salt
| A pinch of whole cumin seeds
| 4 [[Pitta breads]] or [[crispbreads]]
| A few olives, walnuts or [[toasted]] flaked [[almonds]] to garnish
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Brush the [[aubergines]] and the [[red pepper]] with a little olive oil and roast over a hot grill or [[barbecue]] until the skins are well burnt
| Turn them regularly, about 5 to 6 minutes a side will be fine.
| You can also impale them on [[skewers]] (better metal than wooden ones) and roast them over the [[barbecue]], again turning often
| Set them aside to cool, ideally in a sealed [[Lock & Lock]] box
| Scoop out the soft flesh, discarding the outer skin but reserving some of the toasted sut surfaces.
| Crush the garlic and saute in 4 tablespoons of [[olive oil]]. Don't let it burn. At the last minute, add the whole cumin seeds. Allow the oil to cool before processing.
| Put the scooped flesh into a [[food processor]] together with the [[Garlic|garlic]], [[yogurt]] and [[tahini]]. Season to taste with [[salt]]
| Blend into a smooth paste and add the [[lemon]] zest and juice
}}
===Serving suggestions===

Serve, garnished with olives and nuts, accompanied by warm [[pitta breads]] or [[crispbread]]
