Minted Baba Ganoush image

Baba ganoush is a delicious eggplant puree that can be used in much the same way as hummus. It is a must-have on any Middle Eastern meze platter where it is delicious accompanied by brine-cured black olives and warm pita wedges. This version has mint which complements the roasted eggplant sweetness perfectly.
