[Msdodo1990]

woow its looks so good thanks alot!!

[ib422000]

That looks so healthful and good for you! No frying, that's the best part..must try it soon.

Thank you, dear!

[HowToExpo]

@ib422000 You're most welcome! It is a very easy and excellent salad or side dish to accompany fish, chicken or beef. Sometimes we just make the baba ganoush and enjoy it with pita chips.

Thanks for the video. Good idea to blend the garlic with leamon juice first. I don't take the seeds out and I scrape the eggplant skin for more of that stuff. The result is a little darker babaganouj, but I don't waste anything and probably healther that way :)

[HowToExpo]

@dildilpakistan111 You're welcome. I am glad you tried the baba ganoush recipe with good result. Enjoy!

[shanereel]

@HowToExpo

I'm a fan of babaganoush only I use no garlic... Breath smells violently!

I use a bit of cumin too

[HowToExpo]

@shanereel It is very okay to add or omit a seasoning from a recipe to your liking. My son likes baba ghanoush with cumin and a lot of lemon. Enjoy!

Mariette

[wynne14me]

What do you use to dip in to it? Pita bread, carrots...??

[HowToExpo]

@wynne14me Traditionally Pita bread or Pita bread chips are used to dip in to the baba ganouch. But you can also use vegetables like carrot and celery sticks instead of bread, if you desire.

[PlayerBAbyOG]

@SFArtMagazine when made properly eggplants are delicious, especially the Lebanese way

[cplmackk1]

@PlayerBAbyOG I agree Lebanese really know how to make GREAT food!

[SFArtMagazine]

This video is so excellent because it shows so well exactly what to do and just how easy it is. After getting the dust bunnies off my Magic Bullet, I made your recipe half at a time (one egg plant). Now I get excited when I see beautiful eggplants at the farmers market because I know what to do!

[HowToExpo]

@SFArtMagazine Thank you so much for the nice comment. I am so glad you liked the instructional video on baba ganoush, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate it. Enjoy!

[YukiNekoPrincess]

Hi Mariette, would it be possible to make this with an eggplant you had baked the day before and kept in the refrigerator overnight?

[HowToExpo]

@YukiNekoPrincess Yes you can. You can also bake and freeze the eggplants when they are very cheap on the market. Then whenever you need to prepare baba ganoush, just taw the frozen eggplants at room temperature and then proceed as instructed in my video.

Enjoy!

Mariette

[YukiNekoPrincess]

@HowToExpo Thanks! I just made this and it's really tasty! I now know how to make tahini, hummus and baba ganoush :D What recipe would you recommend I learn next?

[HowToExpo]

@YukiNekoPrincess As baba ganoush is an appetizer and a side dish would you like to learn something different like shakshuka? Shakshouka is an egg and tomato dish served for breakfast and lunch, It is very easy to prepare and amazingly delicious. Give it a try and let us know how you like it. You can also give a try to our best tabouleh recipe a Middle eastern salad. We are open for more suggestions for you. don't hesitate to ask any question you may have. we will be glad to assist.

[Snowbeavers77]

Love baba ganoush. Trying out the recipe right now. Seems like a lot of lemon juice though!

[HowToExpo]

@Snowbeavers77 Lemon juice is an important ingredient in baba ghanoush, but the quantity depends on personal taste. Reduce the lemon juice in half then taste if you feel like you need more lemon, you can always add.

[bradyfe]

We made a Baba Ganoush music video!

watch?v=9Hnx4TqQRyU

[mrfadi]

actually this is mtabal not baba ghanooj

[anrocczy1]

I would like to know how does this recipie freeze?

[HowToExpo]

@anrocczy1 i have not frozen the prepared baba ganoush before( we never have left overs lol ) but you can definitively freeze the baked eggplants in its skin or without. I do it all the time. When the eggplants are in season they are good buy. I bake and freeze them wrapped in plastic wrap or foil, ready to be used as needed. It is really very handy when you have unexpected guests.

[Alessandra9467]

For a decorative touch I usually use some pomegranate seeds, the contrasting purple colour with a small bite of the seed really brings out the dichotomy between the textures!

[HowToExpo]

@Alessandra9467 Thanks for your comment.

[rsolod2]

great and will try.

[HowToExpo]

@rsolod2 Thanks and enjoy!

[DonerciHussam]

can you make the quince dessert? that's the best thing I have ever eaten

[HowToExpo]

@DonerciHussam Oh we love the quince jam. I have made a video on how to make it, just need to edit and upload, its on our list! So I guess we can say, coming soon! Thanks for your comment!

[DonerciHussam]

@HowToExpo thank you, I just love quince desserts. Such a nice fruit to use, isn't it? And you are so helpful, so I am anxiously awaiting your video.

[SororThothma]

Hello. Thanks for the recipe. I did exactly as you have done, but I did mine in my Vitamix 5200, and I left the skins on and the seeds in it when I processed it. Try it like that sometime. It is very good that way - and you get all the original roughage and nutrients that are otherwise discarded.

It also worked well using finely ground dry roasted cashews & almonds rather than peanut butter/Tahini. A touch of honey is also a good addition.

Thanks again!

[templeville]

so good thanks so much just made and it was delish

[HowToExpo]

@templeville you're most welcome.

[batgirl9289]

i'm so hungry right now

[uknow1981na]

good

[arujanavi]

why should we take the seeds? they very tender rt? will try it

[michyc08]

wow i have that exact same bowl!

[esxtreme]

Great! Amazing job explaining the process, I'll try it out today, the only thing I don't have is the Tahini

[HowToExpo]

@esxtreme Tahini is important in this dish but if you don't have it try to put plain yogurt instead. It will not be the same taste but I am sure it will still be tasty.

[dedemed]

@esxtreme thank you :)

[artakka]

@esxtreme Peanut butter also is a replaces Tahini. Not as good but will do the job.

[artakka]

@esxtreme Peanut butter also is a replaces Tahini. Not as good but will do the job.

[Zaharkina]

sounds good , tomorrow i will try and i am sure it will be yamyyy

[tlchv]

Another great flavor and garnish for the dish is culinary sumac. It looks a lot like paprika, but has a lemony flavor. I like to cut back on the lemon juice so the recipe is more creamy and smokey than sour... and then sprinkle a little sumac and drizzle olive oil on top. Great dish to serve with a simple roast chicken. Makes for a nice picnic. A little salad, some fresh fruit. Bon appetit.

[tlchv]

This is a really nice recipe for those who do not have an outside grill (smoke from a grill really adds lots of flavor) The simple garnish is really nice, however I prefer to use colorful chopped vegetables to give it added color, flavor and crunch. My favorites are sliced black olives, green olives, purple onion, red and green bell peppers, and green onion. The crunchy vegetables are a nice contrast to the creamy dip and perfect for dipping with pita bread.

[mocha7878]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing :)

[briggybear]

I like your style.

[irfansrkhan123]

[EjenAmy]

I like eggplant.Thank you very much for a wonderful recipe.

I believe Baba Ghanoush is a Turkish food????

[ShinjuHoshi]

how long do u bake the eggplant?

[HowToExpo]

@ShinjuHoshi I bake the eggplants in 400 degree oven for 35 minutes or until soft.

[panda374]

@ShinjuHoshi looks very good yes, But I don't care for eggplant.

[merciasound]

Absolutely delishious, we ate it with Char-grilled lamb, tabbouleh and pitta bread

[WiseLove75]

[LadySamya]

[tomcruiseisinsane]

[anaispal08]

where can you find the paste made from sesame seed?...whats it called again?

[AdrianaDrica2009]

Delicious!!!

[Zaharkina]

thank you , very nice

[RussMusiq]

Can i use anything to replace tahini?

[MDIS]

If you do not have any home oven , simple place the aubergine or plant into a toaster oven and toast ( bake ) till it is soft to the fork or knife.

Then take then out . cool them for 3 minutes and scoop the soft toasted flesh out with a large spoon into a bowl dish.

Mash it up with a fork , add in extra virgin olive oil , salt , lemon juice and a little mayo - for some creaminess and sweetness.

You do not need tahini all the time - expensive stuff.

[SBenify]

Have always loved the creamy taste of muttabal. But didn't realise it was so easy to make. Thank you. Can one make tahini at home?

[faceclutch]

Thank you... :)

[georgeliverakos]

You're the best,very nice way of showing it,god bless!Thank you,so much.

[bestone1233333333]

lana uk

[canelita0306]

[jcareusa]

I will try this, thank you for keeping the demonstration simple.

[SISGOREN]

Loved it, thanks

[drudkhsg]

Delicious!

[karmac7]

I have a good eggplant harvest from the garden, and hope to try this soon! I have watched 3 other videos, and like this one the best.

[karmac7]

did she taste it and put the spoon back in?

[alsayed20]

lol

[gosdanian]

yes, because she is making it for her family!

[schuliger]

so what? like people don't do that all the time. >.>

[karmac7]

if my kids saw me do that, they would use it as an excuse not to eat it..but really, I do too!

[babygyalk]

looks very nice - what would you eat this with?

[HowToExpo]

You can eat Baba Ghanoush alone, with pita bread or as a side dish with all types of Barbecue, like chicken, steak, fish and kebab.

[alsayed20]

isnt it called motabal?

[TheGreenfrog140]

@HowToExpo very well!!! thanks a lot. May God bless you for this. sounds very good. I am following your directions and cooking babaganoush. thank you.

[wingchunming]

@babygyalk Try raw sliced carrots, cucumber and celery ; )

[fmbighair]

@babygyalk There's a greek restaurant in my area that serves it in a big pita with cucumbers, tomatoes, sprouts and lettuce. It works very well like that.

[paraskevopoulos]

great - 20/20

[HowToExpo]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it.

[alsayed20]

lady you should only add half a lemon in the muttabal and only 2 cloves of garlick

[LauraBeachnut]

What would happen if you left the seeds in?

[HowToExpo]

Nothing, only the color of baba ghanouj will be darker.

[LauraBeachnut]

Thank you

hmmm ... "Baba Ganoush Royal"

[KurdistanKuwait]

thank you very much sister
