Baba Ganoush Tahini Eggplant, a famous appetizer of Lebanese cuisine, is enjoyed throughout the Middle East.

The name means "spoiled daddy." Legend says it was created by a daughter for her father who loved eggplant but didn’t have teeth to eat it. So she made him a dip so he could enjoy it comfortably.

This is a gourmet eggplant salad, an enticing dip based on roasted eggplant and tahini, with a unique and wonderful velvety texture. It is ideal for those who love eggplant.

Traditionally in the Middle East, it is served as an appetizer with Arabic pita bread and pickles. It can be used as a sauce for sandwiches, pita, vegetables, or meats. Beyond that, it is an excellent choice for a vegetarian burger or can be combined with legumes and couscous for a traditional culinary experience.
