Thermomix Baba Ganoush

Baba Ganoush is a creamy Middle Eastern dip made by roasting and blending eggplant with just a few other ingredients. If you have ever wanted to make your own Baba Ganoush you are in for a treat, it’s easier than you think!

Thank you to everyone who watched me make a Thermomix Baba Ganoush dip. This was my first Facebook live recipe presentation.  I absolutely loved reading the comments and getting all the thumbs up! If you are making the recipe and would like to see the Baba Ganoush video just follow the link. If you’re not a member of the ThermoKitchen Facebook group page you may need to join first.

I’ve been making Baba Ganoush for years, it’s one of my favourite dips because it’s healthy and delicious. The recipe doesn’t include any sour cream so it’s suitable for those that are on a dairy-free diet. It’s also naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly. So I guess you could say it’s good for everyone.

If you are looking for a dip to serve with this I would suggest my Healthy Smashed Pea Dip. This is another dip that not only tastes delicious, but it’s also good for you!

Baba Ganoush FAQ’s

The secret to getting the traditional smokey flavour is to char the eggplant over a flame.  It took me years to discover this tip. I had previously been making my baba ganoush in the oven and it never had the traditional flavour.

Don’t forget you can make Baba Ganoush over a campfire whilst camping. You will need a very long set of tongs, but it’s a lot of fun! So if you’re a Thermomix camper this recipe will be perfect for you these holidays.

Serving Suggestions

In the pictures, you will notice I have drizzled the Thermomix Baba Ganoush with oil and sprinkled sumac over the top.  This was purely for presentation and doesn’t affect the flavour. It is however a traditional way of serving the dip.

You can serve the dip with crackers, toasted or heated pita bread or vegetables cut into crudites. I love making Seeded Crackers! They’re simple to make and so healthy. It’s best to make them on the day of consumption because they will go soft over time.
