In that case, you've missed out on one of life's lovely delicacies if
you've never tasted baba ganoush. I've been fortunate enough to know
people who make it, so I've never done it myself but I hear it's very
easy. http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archive...ba_ganosh.html
I don't think I've ever eaten a version with chili in it, so that
ingredient is definitely optional.


Baba Ganoush
http://vegetarian.about.com/od/sauce...ushparsely.htm

Ingredients:

1 eggplant
2 t olive oil
2 t lemon juice
3 t tahini
3 cloves garlic
1/4 t paprika
1/4 t salt
3 t fresh chopped parsley

Preparation:

Slice eggplant in half, and roast in 400 degree oven for approximately
45 minutes, or until soft.

Allow to cool slightly, then scoop out inside of eggplant, leaving
skin behind.

In a blender or food processor, combine eggplant and remaining
ingredients, except parsley, until smooth. You may need to add more or
less oil and lemon juice in order to get the proper consistency.

Stir in parsley.
