Aloha! I just finished making this for the first time. It smells and looks delicious. It looks just like yours. my brother, whom requested this said it looked to creamy so next time i wont blend as much maybe. Mahalo for this recipe. ~helen
This is my dream RU-vid cooking channel! I have been looking for authentic Lebanese recipes for a long time, and I just came across your channel and subscribed immediately. Your recipes are simple and easy to follow which I love. Seriously so excited to try your recipes!
Best tool to scrape out eggplants is a silicone spatula. And if you don't really like the taste of fresh garlic, wrap the garlic in alu foil and bake them together with the eggplants. No need to clean the cloves, they get soft and you can squeeze them out. Roasted garlic has a mild nutty taste, just lovely.
@@Feelgoodfoodie hello! :) i sent u a message on Instagram because i have a problem :( my homemade tahini became bitter and hard to swallow it was so unpleasant so it ruined the baba ganoush.. Im Chinese and no clue about this... Is it really bitter or did i make mistake
Youmnaa you are amazingg really ! and I got goosebumps just from hearing you talking lebanese food and from how much you are so passionate about it ! thank you for making lebanese food popular and thank you for helping out all the lebanese immigrants out there that are living without their moms or family anymore and teaching them how to cook and do lebanese food. All the love and support from Lebanon bet3a2de!!
For me, I personally don't like blending the mixture into a completely, fine paste that which kinda looks like chocolate ice cream. I like very small chunks and eggplant to give that texture and that BITE.
Horrible recipe. You didn't tell what to do with the seeds inside eggplants, tried it with three different ones full of seeds. After two hours of being in the oven they're still raw I'm thinking they're made of steel. Definitely puncturing will help next time and using grill
I love this!!!! I usually buy a platter that comes with Falafel, baba ganoush, Hummus, Tabouli, Kibbeh, Stuffed grape leaves, and rice pilaf from the Lebanese restaurant near my house but my wallet has been going through some distress lately 😅 so I'm definitely gonna give it a go and make it from scratch at home. I'm originally from the Caribbean but I loveeeeeeeee Lebanese food so much seriously! Thank you so much!!!!
Dont watch this if you haven't eaten anything all day and never ever go to krogers after especially if you drive an suv or pickup truck that will hold $1.5k worth of groceries
is it possible to fill it in jars and keep it longer...maybe a few months ?? that would be useful during off-season when the eggplants are extremely expensive.
Just a fun variation that I like doing is roast a bulb of garlic coated with a little olive oil and wrapped in foil the use that instead of the raw. Raw garlic is great but roasted tends to be a little milder. Either way, you be you.
I am trying this right now! Just put the eggplant in the oven, I've made this for years but stopped because I was always disappointed by the appearance. The color would be too dark and unappealing. I have high hopes for your recipe! Your vegan grapeleaves recipe is now the only one I use! Thank goodness I found YOU!!!! Keep up the incredible work you are making me very happy!! xoxo
I happened to your channel and made this for my family today. It was easy. When they saw I bought an eggplant, they were saying nooo, I can`t wait for tonight when they think it is from hummus and I spring it on them! Great taste and easy !
All good But I pierce the eggplant with a fork all around and then grill it on my stove all around then I put two peeled garlic with salt and crush them into a paste then I add tahini ( sesame seed paste ) and usually I squeeze lemon 🍋 but I find white vinegar gives it a even better taste and mix it all together then decorate with olive oil and chopped parsley around it 👍🏼🇱🇧❤️🇦🇺
I remember when I was 10 I said to her you’re the CEO of so good she said OMG thank you I’m gonna put it in my bio and I have forgot about this cooker and now I remember her what the hell happened her house is completely changed LIKE WOW
Why should the eggplant be wrapped in aluminum foil? This is complete madness and not at all necessary. Environmental pollution US style. Thank you very much!
You can find the tahini at Middle Eastern markets, natural-foods stores. Most large supermarkets now carry it as well, often located with other Middle Eastern ingredients or in the peanut butter section.
All middle eastern grocery stores have it. Superking is one of them. I am not sure where exactly in California you are, but we have them here in southern California
