Recipe: Quick & Easy Baba Ghanoush

Baba Ganouj is an amazingly tasty and healthy dip. It is so creamy, yet it contains no dairy or dairy substitutes whatsoever.

Great with pita bread, veggies and more, this is usually a more involved dish which requires slow-roasting a whole eggplant, but in this quick, easy, version, you can be ready to eat in just a few minutes!
