Lebanese baba ganoush recipe
Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon tahini paste
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 1 Greek yogurt (optional)
- Salt and ground pepper
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
- The first thing to do is to cut the eggplant in half and cook it (grilled, baked, microwaved or with the Air Fryer) until the inside of the eggplant softens and falls apart (about 15 minutes). Let it cool and remove the skin.
- In a bowl, put the eggplant, add the tahini with the rest of the ingredients and mash gently until everything is well integrated, with a creamy puree texture.
- Let it cool and you can eat it with pita bread, vegetable crudités or as an accompaniment to any dish.
