Baba Ganoush Recipe

It's the first week we start to see Fall fruit, and today we're celebrating the pomegranate. We have eggplant, pomegranate, and oranges. Which is a great combination for a flavorful Baba Ganoush!

Ingredients

• 1 Eggplant or 1 Pound
• 2 Tbsp. Sesame Tahini
• 1 Small Tomato, or 4 Mountain Magic Tomatoes (sliced)
• 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp. Avocado Oil
• 1 Pomegranate (to make pomegranate molasses)
• 1 Orange
• 2 Tbsp. Organic Créme Fraîche (optional)
• 1/4 Tsp. Dried Pepper, like Aleppo (or a couple slices of fresh pepper)
• 1/4 Tsp. Smoked Paprika
• Sea Salt

Instructions

1. For the pomegranate molasses, refer to this post.
2. Cut the eggplant into pieces, and put them in a bowl, sprinkling salt on top. Let it sit while you prepare other ingredients.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
4. Rinse the eggplant, and put it in a baking dish. Drizzle some avocado oil, and mix. Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the heat up to 400 and bake 5 more minutes.
5. You'll end up with a spoonful of pomegranate molasses if you make it on your own.
6. Blend all ingredients. The tomato will go in raw, not cooked.

Notes

The orange is for the molasses, but if you're not making it, just add a little juice of an orange to the mix.

You can also add some orange rind.
