Baba Ganoush: Roasted eggplant Dip
We started getting some egpplant in our CSA so figured it was time to give it a try. My husband and I both LOVED it. It really reminds me a lot of hummus. However, my husband and I both are not at the point where we can tolerate legumes yet so we haven’t had real hummus in a long time.
We love to drizzle some Kasandrinos Olive Oil on top of and serve it with cucumber, peppers and some Otto’s Cassava Flour tortillas. It is a great snack and also great with any entrée. Perfect way to use up some eggplant and if you are missing hummus this is a great substitute.
Enjoy!
