A creamy and really scrumptious dip from the middle east, baba ghanoush, actually means spoilt dad in arabic. I call it a much creamier companion to the hummus. My version of the baba ghanoush includes simpler ingredients, roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic and salt. For a more flavorful dip i use cumin, lemon and a little smoked paprika. Use this dip as a smart tidbit with lavash, vegetables, sliced bread or baked pita chips.
