Do u happen to know what Baba Ganoush is ???

Baba ganoush is just basically eggplant blended up with lemon juice, tahini and sea salt.
Typically we should char the eggplant on a grill /flame /gas stove.OR Slice the eggplant into rounds and broiling it. It is not an authentic style but a time and energy saver  for sure.

INGREDIENTS :-
Eggplant - 1
Lemon - 1
Garlic

Tahini 
Sea salt
Fresh Herbs( totally optional)

PROCEDURE :-
  1. Preheat oven to high broil and position a rack at the top of the oven.
  2. Slice your eggplant into 1/4'' rounds and sprinkle with sea salt and place in a colander in the sink to drain any excess liquid. Rinse slightly after 10 minutes and then pat dry between two towels.
  3. Put on a baking sheet and drizzle some olive oil & sea salt. Roast for 5-10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the eggplant become soften & golden brown. Cover in foil to lock the moisture inside.( roughly wait 5 minutes.)
  4. Peel off the skin from the eggplant and put in a mixer grinder.
  5. Next add lemon juice, garlic, tahini, a pinch of salt and mix until creamy. Add herbs(optional).
  6.  Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
