So there is this new bud light commercial that talks about drinkability with a guy who draws a picture of a man and draws food in his stomach... the last item of food is a bowl and he says it's "my favorite, Baba ghanoush"... his friend ask what it is.. and he replies, I don't know but it sounds good.... and then it never tells you what it is, so I was wondering what the heck is Baba ghanoush? so I had to look it up tonight.
Baba ghanoush is a dish from the levantine tradition, which is region in the middle east made up of the current countries; Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, northwestern Iraq, and southern parts of Turkey.
The main ingrediant in Baba ghanoush is eggplant that is mashed up with different spices. Olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes are also often included in the dish. It is usually cooked over an open flame to give it a smoky flavoring, and is served as a dip for pita bread.
So there you have it, Baba Ghanoush!
