Baba Ganoush Recipe


Full Flavour Baba Ganoush

The best - fullest flavoured - Baba Ganoush in the World

We went back to square one with this Baba Ganoush recipe.

David thought, "What would I do to make Aubergines/Eggplants as tasty as possible? - how would I go about it?"
This famous dish is made all around the Mediterranean - in Syria and Egypt, Turkey, where it's called Patlican Salatasi, and even Greece where it is known as Melitzano Salata.
We tried several different methods and techniques and this recipe is the most straightforward, the easiest to prepare and it produces a fantastic depth of flavour.
