Baba Ghanoush Recipe

BABA GHANOUSH

A delightful Mediterranean dip, and one of the most popular Middle Eastern dishes, baba ghanoush holds its own without needing to be part of the meze – a selection of appetizers or small dishes served in the Middle East. It is perfect on grilled bruschetta, or with savory crackers, lavosh or crisp papadums.

Please also see my hummus recipe, which is another super delicious Middle Eastern dip.

Enjoy this classic baba ghanoush recipe!

Born in Bern, Switzerland, Thomas followed in the footsteps of his mother and entered a three-year cooking apprenticeship program and graduating it at the age of 20. Working a few short stints in a winter ski resort and a city hotel in Basel/Switzerland during the following years he took the opportunity to work in New York in 1986. What was originally planned as a one-year experience in New York lasted three years and went on to a global career, which led him to Australia and on to Hong Kong in 1990. For the past 15 years, Thomas has explored South East Asia and it’s cuisines and regional specialties. He worked in some of the most exciting cities in the world - Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok and his culinary style reflects the many experiences and the people he worked with. Throughout his career, Thomas liked the challenges and diversity of hotel operations. He recently joined a Hotel & Restaurant Management school in Manila, Philippines as Senior Culinary Faculty.
