Baba Ganoush is a Levantine dish made of roasted, peeled and mashed eggplant, blended with tahini, garlic, salt, lemon juice and served drizzled with olive oil. It is similar to hummus and is often served as a dip or spread. The only main difference between hummus and baba ganoush is that the main ingredient in hummus is chickpeas and in baba ganoush, it is eggplant.
