Baba Ghanoush

A wonderful alternative to the usual hummus

• 2 large eggplants
• 2 Tbs. lemon juice
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup olive oil plus 1tbs.
• pita bread 
• salt and pepper 

1.) Preheat oven 375F. Cut each eggplant in half vertically and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40-45 minutes until very soft.

2.) Let eggplant cool before handling. Scoop eggplant flesh out of the skins into the bowl of a food processor. Add lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Serve with pita bread, and cut veggies if you are so inclined.
