Baba means father in Arabic, but I think it should mean king. King of Middle Eastern dips and spreads. Baba Ghanoush is the most creamy and flavorful of them all. Served just like hummus, but chickpeas are swapped with smokey roasted eggplant. This dish is traditionally made with yogurt, oil and tahini. I have replicated the creamy original, replacing the oil and fat with protective ingredients, complete with grilling directions to keep the kitchen cool in the summer when eggplants are in season. Since this is the best dish I’ve ever had on a Protective Diet, I included oven-roasting directions for year-round deliciousness.
