Paleo-inspired Baba ghanoush

Scott and I have been following the Whole30 clean eating plan for the past few days. I'm not sure that I'll make it for a whole thirty days of healthy eating but I'm trying! To that end, I've been trying a bunch of new recipes over the past few days. Here's one of the successes:

Baba-Ghanoush (adapted from Paleo Diet Lifestyle)

Ingredients:

2 eggplants

2 minced cloves of garlic

Juice of one lemon

2 tbsp tahini

2-3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp cumin

Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Wash and prick the skin of the eggplant. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, turning occasionally.

2. Put the roasted eggplant in a bowl of cold water. After waiting a few minutes, peel off the skin.

3. Place the eggplant, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil and seasonings in the blender. Blend until smooth. Add more olive oil if necessary and season to taste.

4. Cool in the fridge for 60 mins. Serve with veggies for a fabulous (and healthy!) veggie and dip snack.
