Baba ghanoush

Baba ghanoush is a Middle Eastern dip made primarily from roasted eggplants, which gives it a smoky flavor. The roasted eggplants are mashed and combined with ingredients like tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and seasoning such as salt and sometimes herbs. The result is a creamy, savory spread that can be enjoyed with bread, vegetables, or as part of a meze platter. Its rich, smoky taste and smooth texture make it a popular appetizer or snack, celebrated for its healthful ingredients and vibrant flavor profile.
