Baba Ghanouj

Baba Ghanouj

* 1 large eggplant
* 3 tablespoons sesame tahini
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tablespoons nonfat yogurt
* 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
* juice from 2 lemons
* 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon organic extra virgin olive oil

Cut eggplant in half lengthwise, and place cut side down on a nonstick baking sheet. Prick with a fork; bake at 350°F until soft and wilted, about 20 minutes.

Scoop out pulp into a bowl; add the rest of the ingredients and mash together for a chunky texture or purée in a blender (before adding parsley) for a smooth texture.

Garnish with more parsley, and drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil. Serve with warm pita bread or crackers.
