Last week I posted a recipe from my friend Jeff’s Mom, she was kind enough to share some more of her recipes with me. So I decided to start a new category on the blog and call it Reader Recipes. If you have a recipe you would like to share with the rest of us then please email me and I will post it. Without further ado, here is Barbara’s Baba Gannouj. The drawing is one of Barbara’s. Please check out Barbara Gerber’s web site for more information on her artwork - www.barbaragerber.com.
Barbara’s Baba Gannouj

- 1/2 cup red onion
- 1/4 tsp. basil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Slice eggplants 1″ thick. Bake at 400° for about 1 hour or until soft. Blend first five ingredients until creamy. Just before serving stir in the basil and minced parsley. Salt to taste. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for added zing. Serve with pita.
Thanks Barbara, for another great recipe!
