This past week I found some eggplants in the outside refrigerator that were about to go bad so I needed to find something to do with them. Then I remembered Madison’s favorite party contribution so I decided this was the perfect answer — Baba Ganosh. Madison’s go-to recipe for his version is in “My Paris Kitchen” by David Lebovitz. Fortunately, I have that cookbook as well so I was off to the races! This recipe lets you use one of my specialty kitchen gadgets — a culinary torch! It is far cleaner than using the flame on the stove and certainly much more fun. you can find this recipe on David’s website. You can also change the basic recipe by adding some other flavors like roasted peppers, cumin, black pepper or any other combination of spices you feel like using. My only caution is to use small amounts. you can always add more after you taste it. Thanks, Madison for the inspiration! My recommendation is to have it with some fresh pita bread, maybe a little wine and think about your next dive trip.
Bon Appetite!
