Alder Smoked Baba Ganoush

Alder Smoked Baba Ganoush

If I hear about how amazing eggplant parmesan is one more time, I may just lose my mind! I know I may be alone in this, but the smell of that dish is almost unbearable, not to mention, why would anyone want to completely obliterate the taste of such a lovely and delicate nightshade with cheese and breadcrumbs? Eggplant is so amazing on its own, I choose to celebrate it when it is available in season, because food! Quality is at its highest right now, and I will eat it allllll the ways. 

Alder smoked eggplant with fresh tahini, roasted garlic and lemon. Finished with spicy greek olive oil. 

This style of baba ganoush is a great way to enhance the floral notes of the eggplant while toning down acidity. Smoky and garlicy, this dish tastes so cozy. I love this easy dish for dipping fresh veggies and warm naan, or spreading on a sandwich as condiment. Give it a go, won’t you?
