Veronica's Baba Ganoush
A traditional Lebanese “hummus†like dip made with roasted eggplant instead of garbanzo beans. It has a unique smoky flavor and is accompanied by cold pressed olive oil, raw garlic; fresh squeezed lemon juice, and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. It’s beautiful and so delicious. I love to eat it with sliced jicama instead of chips.
