Julie has taken full advantage of the Whole Foods downstairs
from her building, making sure to always grace our table with various snacks — hummus,
baba ghanoush, pita chips, pretzels.
This particular recipe for
baba ghanoush (or
baba ghannouj, moutabal, etc.) comes
from a book called Little Foods of the Mediterranean: 500 Fabulous Recipes for Antipasti, Tapas, Hors d'Oeuvres, Meze, and More, but honestly, the basic recipe is pretty simple: eggplant, tahini, lemon, garlic.
