As someone who prefers finger foods, heavy snacks vs. big heavy meals, this looks amazing. I could eat hummus all day everyday but I have to make this and put it in my rotation.

I just bought 2 eggplant from the Amish farmer up the road from me. I’m currently making this recipe as I type. I bought these eggplant just for this recipe. Thanks so much!

Yummy! Thank you! 🤗 I don’t have a gas stove, so I grill or bake my eggplants.

I love this stuff. Very similar to my recipe except i usually throw a few eggplants on my actual wood fired offset smoker when im smoking meats and it get some extra smokiness. Going to try a little sumac which i have in the cupboard and the greek yogurt to see how that changes it 😀

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

That sounds so good and is such a good idea! I love a really smoky baba ganoush. I hope you like my take on it too!

Sounds like a weird question, but do pine nuts taste like pine trees? I mean have that pine-y flavor? I’ve never had them before but don’t really like mint/pine flavors.

[@mr-vet]

👍🙏

[@emchammer1815]

i have sumac growing near some trees, can I use that ?

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

Not if it’s poisonous! The sumac in our spices come from the Middle East

[@Albert-fe8jx]

@@TheMediterraneanDish I always wondered about this. I imagine some people are still somewhat allergic, but I'd follow your ingredients. Thank you. PS LOVE the pics of the dishes on your site.

[@adigmon]

It’s not the same thing! Don’t eat sumac from your yard!

[@Joseph11996655]

Better to make the Tahini separately so you can then control the amount you add to the aubergine.

[@Albert-fe8jx]

If I were rich, I'd contract with you for a year's supply.
