Before you jump to Roasted Garlic Baba Ganoush recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Suggestions For Living Green And Saving Money In The Kitchen.

Until fairly recently anyone who expressed concern about the wreckage of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. Those days are over, and it looks like we all comprehend our role in stopping and perhaps reversing the damage being done to our planet. The experts are agreed that we cannot transform things for the better without everyone’s active contribution. This should happen soon and living in methods more friendly to the environment should become a mission for every individual family. The kitchen area is a good place to start saving energy by going much more green.

Let’s begin with something quite simple, changing the light bulbs. Accomplish this for the entire house, not just the kitchen. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs are generally energy-savers, and you should use them instead of incandescent lights. They cost a small amount more at first, but they last ten times longer, and use less electricity. One of the pluses is that for every one of these lightbulbs used, it signifies that approximately ten normal lightbulbs less will end up at a landfill site. Together with different light bulbs, you need to learn to leave the lights off if they are not needed. In the kitchen is where you’ll regularly find members of a family, and often the lights are not turned off until the last person goes to bed. Obviously this also happens in different rooms, not just the kitchen. Do an exercise if you like; check out how much electricity you can save by turning the lights off as soon as you don’t need them.

From the above it should be apparent that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are many little opportunities for saving energy and money. It is reasonably easy to live green, after all. A lot of it really is simply making use of common sense.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to roasted garlic baba ganoush recipe. You can have roasted garlic baba ganoush using 9 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

The ingredients needed to prepare Roasted Garlic Baba Ganoush:
  1. Prepare 1 large or 3 small eggplants
  2. You need 3-4 cloves garlic
  3. Get 1 Tbsp olive oil
  4. Provide 2-4 Tbsp Tahini to taste
  5. Get 1 small lemon or 1 lime
  6. Prepare 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  7. Prepare to taste salt
  8. Provide Cayenne pepper or paprika to garnish
  9. You need Optional- fresh parsley, cilantro, or basil to garnish
Steps to make Roasted Garlic Baba Ganoush:
  1. If you have a big eggplant, cut it in half lengthwise. Leave thinner/smaller eggplants whole. Poke with a knife or fork in several places.
  2. Put 3-4 garlic cloves, unpeeled, inside of a small pieces of aluminum foil and pour in a glug (1 Tbsp-ish) of olive oil along with it. Close foil around garlic (make sure oil won't leak out).
  3. Lay eggplant(s) on a pan (skin-side up if you cut them) along with garlic. I brushed it with just a little olive oil to keep it from drying out. Broil, grill, or roast for about 40-50 minutes (My oven was set to broil at 500°F/260°C.) If baking in oven, bake 40-60 min. at 400°F/200°C, skin side up.
  4. Remove garlic after 20-25 minutes so it doesn't burn. The cloves should be soft inside their skins. Cook the eggplants for the remaining time until skin is starting to blacken and flesh is very soft.
  5. When they're soft enough, remove eggplants and let cool until you can touch them. Scoop out flesh away from skin and put into a large bowl. Mash with fork.
  6. Squeeze or scoop out roasted garlic cloves from their skins and mash into eggplant. If you end up burning one or two like me, you can finely chop a fresh garlic clove to replaces it ;) It'll look a little gross at first, but once everything is mixed, it'll be okay, hehe.
  7. Add 2-4 Tbsp of tahini (depending how much sesame taste you like) and 1/4 tsp ground cumin. Mix well. Squeeze lemon or lime and add 2-3 Tablespoons, mix and taste. Add more for more tartness. (I used a whole lime, about 4 Tbsp). Last, mix in salt until it tastes good too you :)
  8. Garnish with a dash of cayenne or paprika for color or spice, and some chopped herbs like parsley, basil, cilantro, etc. Enjoy as a dip or sandwich spread!
