My local Mediterranean restaurant (Pita Inn) makes their baba ganoush with char-broiled eggplant, mashed and blended with tahini, yogurt, and parsley, topped with olive oil and spices and served as a cold dip. So yum! 😋
Ahhh HOMEMADE TORTILLAS!! When I was around 18-19 years old…I went to Mexico with my then bf. I didn’t know how to cook hardly at all. I’d never had a tortilla. This was late 80’s sooo…don’t judge me lol. I (as a woman) was expected to know how to cook so I stuck really close to his mom. I helped cook and grind the corn (holy cow that stuff is a beast to grind! I needed more muscle!) then mix into a dough (masa). I was constantly teased because I’d always make them lopsided lol. We had a cooking stone on the fire that we’d lay them on to cook. Homemade tortillas are so much better than store bought!! Even when there lopsided! Thanks for the memories 💜 Tamara
I don’t have a recipe because I’ve just winged it. I’ve made a hot eggplant dip a couple of times and it’s so good. Basically for each large eggplant I roast a medium onion and whole head of garlic with the eggplant in the oven. Then blend them with the eggplants insides in my food processor with some salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil and Parmesan to taste. I serve it hot with little crispy bread toasts or fancy crackers.
Is adding parmesan your own twist to the baba ganoush, or is it from a different region that adds parmesan to it? I have never heard of or tasted it with parmesan and was curious.
@@mashal8915 I don’t think it’s technically baba ganoush at all. I just had some eggplants and wanted a hot dip so I made something up. I’ve never actually had baba ganoush either. If I get some good eggplants in the garden this year I’ll try it.
A friend of mine is from Trinidad and one day when I was over she was making Choka which is their eggplant dip recipe. And while it’s very similar, her “recipe” also included roasting tomatoes and also a whole roasted head of garlic and then just processing the whole mess with the rest of the ingredients you mentioned (salt, olive oil, pepper). I had never had Baba ganoush (sp?) but it was sooo good and I have approximated a version at home for myself. When you don’t measure anything, or the “recipe” you’re following is not measured, each time you make it will be slightly different but likely still good. But maybe try roasting some garlic and tomatoes into a batch and see what you think of it! Thanks for the reminder to me for when my eggplants starts producing! Bless you! Carrie (ps lovely meeting you at MurrayFest!)
I just harvested my first eggplant and had planned on making this dish. I came in from harvesting and saw your video and nearly jumped up and down for joy! Watching your video as I make this for the first time is like being with a trusted friend in her kitchen. Can't wait to try both the baba ganoush and the tortillas. Thanks so much Jess!
Yes! This! On the off season, if you actually broil the eggplants, large ones for an hour, turning a quarter turn every 15 minutes, medium ones for 40mins, you can also get that smoky flavor.
Hey Jess, I made the Brown Butter Tomatoes last night for dinner and the Baba Ganoush tonight. Keep the recipes coming, that way I never have to struggle about what's for dinner. I just make whatever you made last. God bless.
I love it with the freshness of the cucumber, but also with the spiciness of a radish, the sweetness of a carrot, and the mildness of a slice of fresh zucchini! How can people not like eggplant--I can't get enough of it...😅
I am about to finish my 1st time eating and making Baba Ghanoush along with the tortillas. You make the things you cook look so easy for me to try new things. I am a southern Tennessee cook that never measures anything as well just like my mother and grandmother's did. Thank you so much for simplifying what you do and introducing me to delicious new to me recipes 😊!
I don't have a baba ganoush recipe, but I have a little story for you: I started making the farmers cheese a while ago, and I also brought some to my parents. My mom got very excited about it, and asked me to send her your video. She's been making the cheese now aswell, and it never lasts long. My aunt also requested your video, but she hasn't been able to make the cheese. My grandma's birthday was on Wednesday, and I made it with herbs, and my aunt got very excited about finally being able to try it. Personally, I prefere stronger tasting cheese, but I now prefere home made cheese over even high quality store bought cheese. Here is to spreading the love for cheese
My daughter #3 HATES that I don't use a recipe. She loves my cooking but gets so frustrated with me when she would call and ask me how to make something. Last Christmas I bought an old fashioned recipe box and filled it with her favorite childhood meals and desserts. She just got married earlier this month and I wanted her to feel confident in the kitchen.
Yay! I love it when the garden gives you the thing you're craving, for me it's bruschetta with a big juicy tomato. I live in northern Washington, so I have to wait so long, but it's so worth it. When I can get it, I eat it every day.
I absolutely love your channel. I just now discovered it. You’re a complete delight, and I really like the way that you present your cooking/baking methods. So glad that I happened upon your show.
I've been waiting to try this recipe every since I planted eggplants. I finally got to make it today! So far my husband and I like it. Now to test it on the kids. Thanks for the recipe!
SUGGESTION: Place garlic cloves in a parchment lined foil pouch (just wrap and seal it around a bunch of them), and roast in the oven at the same time you are baking the eggplants, tastes so good roasted in the recipe!
My mouth just literally watered!! I really like baba ganoush and corn tortillas and never thought of putting them together. Now, I've got to see if I can order some masa harina to be delivered in Portugal..
Oh my! I will have to try this. I planted four eggplant this year not knowing exactly how to eat them. I didn't think they would produce as many as they have! Thank you, Jess.
Oh goodness! Never even thought of putting Baba Ghanoush together with a fresh tortilla! Here in Tucson Arizona you would think I would have thought of that ages ago!
My favorite recipe of all time was one you made several years ago!! It was sliced fresh tomatoes, sliced eggplant and sliced onions with garlic and olive oil and it was baked. I made it at home and it was AMAZING!! This recipe looks great too and I have to try it!!!
Tried this today! Not generally a fan of Eggplant. But, this was really good! My husband isn't a fan of most veggies in general and he liked it too! Also, I finally broke down and got smoked paprika.. I didn't know what I was missing out on my whole life! Very tasty. Thanks!
I have been waiting for this recipe for so long and have made it 3 times thus far. First time I forgot the salt and quickly realized my mistake. Thank you for ending the suspense. I loved it. I am on an eggplant kick because my one plant has single-handedly produced 92 eggplant and counting…..I have also delved into making caponata. You should try that recipe……so delicious!!!!! The recipe I used is from a you tuber whose channel is called sip and feast. I’ll send it to you if I can figure out how. Also, eggplant parm with you tuber Vincenzos plate is delicious as well. Can’t wait to try other eggplant dishes as well. Thanks for all you do. Love both of your channels. ❤
I know you can’t, but I go straight for pita or naan bread!!! I used to make this for my Mother-in-Law!!! She loved it!!! We would eat it all between the two of us!!
You convinced me to make this! I am on a low carb/keto diet to reverse my diabetes. Anyway, I made it and it’s sooooo good! It is now likely my new addiction! I measured the garlic with my heart 😂Thanks for sharing this!
I took a cooking class and we made baba ganoush…I distinctly remember the chef having us add mayo to it. I know - sounds weird - but just an idea for anyone trying the recipe to see if they like it with that flavor in it as well. It was really good
I will make this for sure. I'm also on my day 5 of my Sourdough journey. Cannot wait to bake my first loaf. I'm watching The Sourdough journey here on UA-cam and he breaks it down perfectly. The science of baking is amazing. It's really not that complicated. People make it complicated and intimidating, it's actually not. If you have a friend with a starter they can give you or even purchase a starter, that would be easy. I have a started that i purchased as im fermenting my own. So if you want to start, dont wait. Experiment and have fun.
Recipe written down, for both the baba ganoush and the tortillas, tortilla press ordered, looking forward very much to trying this!!! I am confident, this will match my taste!!
I tried it! I love it as a way to use up homegrown cucumbers to dip into it too! Makes me feel great to munch on a dip that is healthy! My husband is so/so on it 😂
Jess, I just made this recipe with some eggplant that I picked up from our local mennonite produce stand. And I am in LOVE with this! Thank you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and sharing the recipe! Delish!
Here’s my only suggestion (because this is basically my hummus recipe with the eggplant replacing the chickpeas or navy beans) is when you’re roasting something during hot weather…. Put it in a portable roaster and plug it in outside. Your A/C will thank you. 😄. My husband is in the HVAC business and I’m always talking my about this hack on my channel. IF YOU CAN PLUG IT IN OUTSIDE….DO IT! 😊
I will definitely be making this as soon as I’m able to drive to the store. I have 4-5 weeks in a sling before I’m allowed to drive. I can’t wait to try this recipe. That looks amazing. I should probably order a tortilla press while I’m healing. Have a great rest of the weekend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️😋😋😋
I am growing lots of eggplant this year! I will definitely try your recipe! I made eggplant puttanesca last year and I loved it as well!! Happy Gardening!! 😊
Planted eggplant for the first time ever this year, but it's looking puny...I will have to buy some locally and try this asap! Looks fresh and delicious! Blessings, Marie
I’m so glad the tortilla press turned out to be a good one! I was so worried it would be a really crappy quality one but it looks good! Now I need to find me some eggplants and try this🤤
Thanks for sharing… I have never been fond of eggplant, except in eggplant par,Sean, but have an abundance right now . This sounds so good, I’m making it this afternoon! 😂❤
I love Baba Ganoush!.. Thank you for sharing.. I love eggplant fried, as a noodle substitute in lasagna and really any dish.. My husband does not but he loves Baba Ganoush.. Will try this .. thank you.. Tahini is very easy to make if you can't find it in your store. It's basically toasted sesame seeds with olive oil and salt. Your videos always brighten my day!
I love love LOVE Baba Ganoush. My mouth is watering and will be making some like NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just have to get some eggplants. Thanks!! Hummus is good, but nothing is like Baba Ganoush.
I cook that way too lol. I don’t measure anything. Cooking is more of an art while baking is a science. I guess if you want more consistency, it’s good to measure. 🤷♀️. It’s fun to experiment and see what a bit more carrot does to the dish this time around. If it changes it a lot, then you just make note of that. Cooking is a lot more experience than skill though you can do a lot by learning up on skills. But you really just have to do it yourself with your own hands to really get to know how to cook. I’ve been cooking for 20 years now and I’m always learning something new. It’s such a great hobby that is super useful lol.

Yay! I’ve been so curious about how you make yours. I make this all the time. In a similar way, with a few differences. For a smokier flavor I cook them for the same amount of time, but under the broiler, turning them a quarter turn every 10-15 minutes, large eggplants I’ll broil for an hour, no joke. It also makes a softer flesh that breaks up easier, because my Greek grandmother raised in Turkey said, never touch your eggplant to metal, no food processor, or metal bowl. She said eggplant picks up the metallic flavor. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I never wanted to find out. Vigorously mixing it, like you did, with a wooden spoon, after broiling it, makes it less chunky but still maintains a rustic texture. It really is the best thing ever.
The best baba I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant was at a Turkish place in Queens NY. It was so good because it was smoky. I once went there as they were pulling the eggplants out of the ovens. They were charred! That was their secret. It was the broiling that had mine tasting just like theirs.
I have been waiting for this, yayyyy! Could I have googled a recipe for baba ganoush? Yes. Would I much rather use a recipe that someone I know says is delicious? Definitely. Thank you, can’t wait to try it! ❤
I just picked a handful of eggplants this morning and now I know what I am going to do with them. I have made baba ganoush in the past but this reminded me it would make a good appetizer for my 4th of July party. Thanks Jess! Oh and I like to top mine with Zatar and a paprika!
We were just having baba ganoush at a restaurant the day before you released this and I was talking to my parents and brother about how you make it yourself at home too. Such great timing!
I'm glad you finally got to have your baba ganoush! And I'm so glad to finally have your recipe! Slow food tastes better than fast food (Hey, that could be one of your t-shirts, 😆 🤣 😂)
I picked a whole basket of eggplant today. We made eggplant keto pizzas😂, but I remembered you talking about this. I intended to search your catalog for a video. Thank you for posting this today!!!!
You know it's good when the person does a little shimmy dance after they try it!
I thought I was the only one who did the food dance
@@debbiebolman2705I do too🤣
LOL! I was just going to say that. It's the happy dance that tells you it's really good.
Another fellow food dancer! 😂 and I passed it on to my kids they do it too, haha.
A southern woman making baba ganoush and authentic corn tortillas; what a lovely fusion of cultures and recipes
Your next shirt design should be “ I eat garlic like vampires are a real threat”. lol I’d totally get one because I do too haha😂 I love that phrase
Yes, Jess!
I second that!🧄🧄🧄
Love it
Yessss plz
Mosquitos can kill you, they’re essentially vampires.

Measuring: I heard an idea for those who don’t measure: put your bowl on a scale & just check the quantity after you’ve added it
The little happy dance was adorable!!!!
I finally made this for the first time with a bunch of Japanese eggplants I harvested today from my small garden. Yummy! Thank you!
I really want a shirt that says "I eat garlic like vampires are a real threat." Lol. The baba ganoush looks great. I'm going to have to try it.
You mean there not,😂,
I like to put eggplant on the leftover coals after I grill out and then make baba ganoush. The coals add a nice smoky flavor.
Yes! This! On the off season, if you actually broil the eggplants, large ones for an hour, turning a quarter turn every 15 minutes, medium ones for 40mins, you can also get that smoky flavor.

Yeah we do a lot with egg plants in India . Similar kind of dish is “eggplant bharta” we eat with rice or roti too.

Made this for the first time. It's really yummy! Thanks Jess for the idea
In Canada they sell a creamy babajanoush with sour cream in it. It's to die for!
Yay! I’ve been so curious about how you make yours. I make this all the time. In a similar way, with a few differences. For a smokier flavor I cook them for the same amount of time, but under the broiler, turning them a quarter turn every 10-15 minutes, large eggplants I’ll broil for an hour, no joke. It also makes a softer flesh that breaks up easier, because my Greek grandmother raised in Turkey said, never touch your eggplant to metal, no food processor, or metal bowl. She said eggplant picks up the metallic flavor. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I never wanted to find out. Vigorously mixing it, like you did, with a wooden spoon, after broiling it, makes it less chunky but still maintains a rustic texture. It really is the best thing ever.
The best baba I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant was at a Turkish place in Queens NY. It was so good because it was smoky. I once went there as they were pulling the eggplants out of the ovens. They were charred! That was their secret. It was the broiling that had mine tasting just like theirs.
I just got all my ingredients for this. I have never tried it but you make it sound so good I just had to do it.😊
I love baba Ganoush.. I will definitely attempt to make it at home!
I have been waiting for this, yayyyy! Could I have googled a recipe for baba ganoush? Yes. Would I much rather use a recipe that someone I know says is delicious? Definitely. Thank you, can’t wait to try it! ❤
Thank you for inspiring me to get my tortilla press out!!
This looks delightfy, especially with that fresh corn tortilla to dunk into it! Yum!
I just picked a handful of eggplants this morning and now I know what I am going to do with them. I have made baba ganoush in the past but this reminded me it would make a good appetizer for my 4th of July party. Thanks Jess! Oh and I like to top mine with Zatar and a paprika!
Love the happy shoulder wiggle ❤
Finally getting around to making this!
The joy that oozes from this video has just made my day. I'm so happy you got to make this, and now I want to try it!
Roasting the eggplants on a BBQ develops a beautiful smokey flavour❤
I've been wanting to make some! I have some eggplant growing in the garden now. :)
Jess I’m so glad you started this channel. I’m always waiting anxiously for the next post.
Asian varieties of eggplant are even better!
Oh my gosh, I love Baba Ganoush. Thank you for the recipe. My eggplant are ready to be picked.
We were just having baba ganoush at a restaurant the day before you released this and I was talking to my parents and brother about how you make it yourself at home too. Such great timing!
Another Jess recipe I'm going to have to try!
I'm glad you finally got to have your baba ganoush! And I'm so glad to finally have your recipe! Slow food tastes better than fast food (Hey, that could be one of your t-shirts, 😆 🤣 😂)
I have to make this. I LOVE tahini
I picked a whole basket of eggplant today. We made eggplant keto pizzas😂, but I remembered you talking about this. I intended to search your catalog for a video. Thank you for posting this today!!!!
My last eggplant was harvested yesterday (because Texas 😂) so it will now become baba ganoush. 🍆 We’re big homemade hummus people so I’m excited.
So excited to see a gluten and dairy free option for me. Thank you ❤
I absolutely love baba ganoush! I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks, Jess!
Darn it! After not liking eggplant during my childhood I'm going to have to add eggplant to my garden next year so I can try this!
