Baba Ganoush is a Middle Eastern appetizer of roasted eggplant, garlic and tahini. This recipe is the epitome of all things delicious! Try it with grilled meats, vegetables, or as part of an appetizer plate with hummus, pita, and olives.
Grill or broil the eggplant for 15 minutes, until the skin is charred and the flesh is tender.
Scoop out the flesh of the eggplant and discard the peels. Add the eggplant, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt to a large bowl or the bowl of a food processor. Mix or process until thoroughly blended.
Stir in the parsley.
Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Before serving, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
