The ingredients for Roasted Garlic Baba Ganoush are:

1 medium eggplant
1 head garlic, roasted or 3-31/2 Tbsp roasted minced garlic
1/4 tsp ground cumin
pinch of cayenne
1/8 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup tahini
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Here is how you make Roasted Garlic Baba Ganoush:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Prick each eggplant a few times, then char the outside of the eggplants by placing them directly on the flame of a gas burner and as the skin chars, turn them until the eggplants are uniformly-charred on the outside.The eggplant can release a lot of liquid, so we like to lay a few strips of tin foil around the burner for easy clean up. Transfer the eggplant on the baking sheet. Roast the eggplant for about 20 minutes or until completely soft to the touch. Remove the eggplant from the oven. Let the eggplant cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. When everything is cool, pull out a food processor. Peel the eggplant and place the flesh in the processor. Add the roasted garlic, cumin, cayenne, chili powder, tahini and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Pulse in the processor. Add some salt and pepper. Taste to see if it needs more lemon. If it does, add a little at a time, pulsing to have all the flavors combine. If it looks thin, add some more tahini. If it is too thick, either add more lemon or a sprinkle of water. When you have the right consistency and flavor either serve warm or put into container and store in the refrigerator until chilled and ready to eat.Serving Size: 1/4 cup per servingNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SLJGEMINI75.
