I got inspired to make hummus, baba ghannouj, and khobiz all from scratch for dinner. Eww...green goop. Delicious green goop. My father has never had anything with eggplant, but this stuff definitely made him a big fan of them.

Baba Ghannouj:

1 Medium Eggplant (~12 oz)
1/4 cup Tahini
1/4 cup FRESH Lemon Juice (~2-3 lemon's worth)
2 Garlic cloves
As Needed Salt (quite a bit of it)

1. Grill or roast the eggplant, turning often until soft all the way through (~15 mins on a grill, more in the oven)
2. Peel and stem eggplant, chop into 1-2 inch pieces.
3. Blend eggplant into puree. Add everything else, and blend until smooth. Use quite a bit of salt until you can distinctly taste both the eggplant, and lemon. Best served cold.
