Baba Ghanoush

This is very similar to the Hummus, but made with roasted eggplants.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggplants
• 2 Tablespoons Tahini (sesame seed paste)
• 1/2 lemon (juice)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (if you are in Germany, buy the cumin for this recipe at an Asian Market – German cumin tastes different)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash allspice or four spice mix (Quatre-épices)
• 1 Tablespoon Olive oil

—-

• sweet paprika and olive oil to decorate
• Pita bread to serve with

Directions:

1. 
   Place the eggplants on a pan, and roast them in the oven at 350º F (180º C) for 1 hour. Check every now and then to turn them to make sure that the eggplants are roasting evenly.
2. Let the eggplants cool down in the fridge for about 3 hours.
3. Slice the eggplants and then use a spoon to take the flesh out and place in a food processor.
4. Add the rest of the  ingredients and blend to a paste.
5. Spread some Baba Ghanoush on a Plate (see above image), and then sprinkle some sweet paprika on top.
6. Pour around 3 Tablespoons olive oil over the Baba Ghanoush.
7. Serve with Pita bread.
