Description
Babaganoush is a delicious Mediterranean dip that's made from roasted eggplant and tahini. It's similar to hummus, another Mediterranean dip, but essentially just using eggplant instead of chickpeas. The two pair great together on a Greek salad, as a spread for Whole Wheat Pita Bread, or a dip for Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves)
