Seriously, the BEST baba ganoush I have ever had. The magic, I think, is in draining the roasted eggplant pulp. Thanks for this recipe. P.S. I added diced fresh tomatoes which I also drained. Forgive me, but I think it’s a good addition!

In reply to Gia R. I have use this recipe w regular eggplant & Japanese eggplant & I buy a large (6lb) can of roasted eggplant from the Mediterranean market or amazon & it comes out great any way I make it. I freeze the canned in 2 1/2 cup containers w make the baba w same measurements as recipe. I make baba at least once a week.

In reply to Gia R. Hi Gia, yes those type of eggplants should be fine, and a blender should work as well.

Where I live i’m unable to buy italian eggplants, would it be okay to substitute them with chinese eggplants? and would a blender be okay to use instead of a food processor?

In reply to Ted. Thank you! We grow Chinese long eggplants and I was trying to figure out how many I would need for this.

I added half an onion – roasted it with the eggplants. I also put it all on the food processor and it came out perfect!

In reply to Charity. Hi Charity, yes, that will work, just adjust the roasting time if they are smaller.

In reply to Denise. Hi Denise, you can freeze it, but it might be a little watery or separate when thawed.
