I thought since it's eggplant it wouldn't bother me, I guess it's the spices in it

Cal, what is that?? Baba Ganoush...?

Fried chicken
Fried catfish
Baked honey glazed ham
Collard greens
Baked maccaroni and cheese (heavy on the cheese!)
Candied yams
Green beans w/ pearl onions
Fried corn
Sweet cornbread

Sweet potato pie
Pecan pie
Peach cobbler
Pineapple upside-down cake
Jello/fruit mold
Supernova's Lemon cake


All that for just a family dinner means...lol...

I don't know what that is, but I can't help but come to the conclusion that it's a fantastic name for a hamster.

SHANNA said:

it's a dip, similar to hummous but with an eggplant base instead of a chick pea base...

does that help?

i love me some baba ganoush, especially in a falafel sammich.

I want some...Where do I go, Anx??...(North! ) Panera??...

Endo, yes! Thank you, you helped. I love hummus w/pita...I like eggplant parmesan...Baba Ganoush stands a great chance with me.

i'm sorry, Shaun!

Meditarian Food Makes me SICK Lately. Too Much OIL and GREASE. BABA GANOUSH and Falafel and Hummas is Great but Packed with OIL and I CANNOT EAT MEDITARIAN ANYMORE. TOO HEAVY..I would eat TABOULI Salad though...I Love Humas with Pita Bread.

I thought I was the only one who said "Meditarian." My g/f is a vegetarian, and she teases me whenever that word comes out of my mouth when I mean to say "Mediterranean."

Thanks, Z.

SHANNA said:

well, if you're in chicago, you need to get yourself to sinbad's on belmont. and if you're not, check and see if there's an aladdin's by you - it's not the best middle eastern food ever, but it's not bad.

SHANNA said:

So... like, everything huh?

missmad said:

What is "tahina"?

And isn't it mostly olive oil, which isn't bad for you? Not loads of it, mind you but we all need some good fats, no? Just don't tell me I gotta cut down on my new passion

Massaman curry

Penang Gai

Fauxie said:

A brief blurb of ingredients, please? I've never had either

CalhounSq said:

massaman has beef, coconut milk, chili, curry powder and a few other things I'm sure.

CalhounSq said:

I think she means "tahini" (but let's let her confirm that, lol!). Tahini, however, is sesame seed paste....

Fauxie said:

Ditto.

And from other Asian cusines, I've had the pleasure of having homemade Nepalese AND Chinese versions of meat filled dumplings called "Mo-Mos", and depending how much ginger, garlic , and chilies they put in those suckers, they can can do SERIOUS damage to you the day after !

Zelaira said:

But, Pumpkin, there are sooo many different types of Medi-region foods that have less oil though, we just need to expand our tastebud horizons on what's available out there...!If you're interested in experimenting a bit at home,though, there's a fantastic article in the November ssue of Metropolitan Home on Turkish cuisine, but focusing on grains like bulgur wheat. Some of the ingredients you need are exotic, but can probably be found at your neighborhood "Whole Foods" market.

I'm lucky because living in Germany, the major minority here is Turkish, and there are Turkish grocery stores EVERYWHERE, with the most delectable ingredients you can imagine: red pepper paste, kiwi jam, fresh flatbreads and sesame loaves and ciabatta every day...once you get away from the Turkish fast food joints (the ones with the over-oiled ganoushes, hummus, and dönners (the Turkish version of a gyro), you can really do some serious damage in the kitchen with some tasty-assed food!

here's a speedy version that I do at home that's painless to make:


OTTENSEN'S QUICK BABA GANOUSH


3 tbsp. olive oil
2 diced eggplants (aka aubergines)
2 crushed garlic cloves
juice from 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp. FRESH basil

OPTIONAL: -red pepper flakes or harrissa* to taste
-salt

(* = an ingredient found in a health, organic, or middle eastern food stores)


1. Heat oil in medium frying pan before frying eggplants/aubergines until soft
2. Add all cooked ingredients except optional ingredients to food processor
3. Blend until a rough paste is formed
4. Scrape Baba Ganoush into a bowl and season with salt, and/or pepper flakes/
harissa to taste
5. Serve with flatbread, pita triangles or pita crisps



Hope this works for ya!
