Baba Ganoush without Tahini Recipe

Baba Ganoush without Tahini Recipe

Baba Ganoush is a classic Mediterranean eggplant dip. It is so beloved that the French call it "eggplant caviar." I love it but I have issues finding Tahini in my area.

If you love this dish but Tahini is hard to find in your area, this is the recipe for you.
