Eggplant, garlic, olive oil, lemon, and tahini - the ultimate sauce for your August Med bowl

It’s time-to-start-harvesting-all-those-eggplants-from-the-garden-season! Or if you don’t have a green thumb (same lol) it’s on-sale-at-the-store eggplant season! Now I have a tumultuous past with eggplants. Served wrong, they have the power to turn you into in eggplant hater quickly. But served correctly, you’ll be converted. And the Mediterranean / Middle Eastern cuisines know exactly how to prepare eggplant correctly.

Enter… this baba ghanoush inspired roasted eggplant dip. Is it traditional baba ghanoush? Absolutely not. But is it heavily based on baba ghanoush flavors? Definitely!

Paired with a really really crispy roasted sweet potato (just how I like it!), cucumbers, chicken and drizzled with a little honey and olive oil, this Mediterranean bowl is my favorite one of August so far.

Serves 4
