What do you do when you have an abundance of eggplant? You make Baba Ganoush!
I’ve always been fairly adventurous in my eating habits. Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods are a couple of my favorites. Baba Ganoush is a fairly quick, easy, and healthy side dish or appetizer to add to your repertoire. When eggplant is in season, it’s cheap to make, too.
