Mealthy tip:
You'll get a good amount of smoky flavor in this baba ghanoush recipe. If you're craving even more smoke, grill the eggplants for 45 minutes to 1 hour instead of broiling in oven.

Laura Griffin says:
Authentic tasting ghanoush! I can't decided between this and hummus, which I like more. That's why I serve both! My party guests love it.

Greg Jones says:
This was really good Baba Ghanoush, very authentic tasting. We've tried it both ways, grilled and broiled. I definitely prefer the grilled method, but both are fantastic.

Chaz Norwood says:
Made these for a company potluck and paired them with pita crackers. Everyone loved them. Eggplant is so underrated, I think I created a few new fans.
