Baba Gannouj
This has a very similar taste to Hummus, so if you can't have hummus, this is the perfect substitute. This can be used as a dip for veggies or a sauce for meats and if you've ever had Schwarma, this is the typical sauce used on that.
1 eggplant
1/4 C Tahini sauce1 t cumin
1 T lemon juice
1 T olive oil
This can also be easily doubled for a larger group. Spear the eggplant with a knife about every 2-3 inches all around. Wrap in tin foil and grill on a barbecue or under a broiler until the insides are completely gooey. Scoop them out, trying to leave behind as much of the peel as possible, but don't worry if you get some in the sauce - too much will make it bitter though.
Put it in a blender or food processor with the other ingredients and blend until smooth. This will thicken up once refrigerated and is served either hot or cold.
