HUNGRY GERALD

Baba Ganoush is a delectable, Levantine eggplant appetizer. It means “spoiled old daddy.” It seems that for centuries caring daughters would make it for their old, toothless fathers. The dish is composed of chopped roasted eggplant; tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and some spicy Spanish pimenton (or harissa or white pepper). Cumin and coriander are added to the mix and it is all smoothed with the use of a hand held blender. BSK makes the world’s best version of Baba Ganoush. HG eats it for lunch and dinner so HG is a happy “spoiled old daddy.” It is an outstanding light lunch or supper appetizer. Fortunately, BSK has made a big quantity of this good stuff so spoiled old HG emulates millions of Middle Eastern eaters. Thanks, BSK, for making magic.
