What is Baba Ganoush? A delicious aubergine dip

Baba Ganoush is a dip that originates from the Middle East and it can often be found in the more exotic supermarkets. But the taste of home-made Baba Ganoush is incomparable to the ready-made varieties. And it is often healthier to make your own Baba Ganoush too.

Baba Ganoush, a Mediterranean delicacy, used in soup in this recipe

Baba Ganoush is made with aubergine that is prepared under the grill or in the oven, after which its purple peel is removed and it is pureed. This is then combined with a little pepper and fleur de sel, olive oil and some lemon juice. Then herbs such as garlic and parsley are added for more flavour. Baba Ganoush can be savoured as a healthy snack, a hors d’oeuvres with bread or as a meze with a variety of other Mediterranean dishes. In this recipe Baba Ganoush is also used, but this time in soup. The soup perfectly highlights the delicious flavour of the aubergine.

At the age of 33 he was going with all guns blazing, but he didn't spare a thought for his own health - he smoked, drank a lot, worked up to 16 hours a day and drank around two litres of coffee daily. Then he developed two serious hernias, as well as being very overweight. He realised that he could not continue this way and decided on a complete turnaround. He quit drinking and smoking and slowly changed his diet, until he finally went almost completely vegan.Vegan, a step further than vegetarian Stefano's recipes are all vegan.
