    Used jarred roast eggplant, which made this so quick and easy to make. Very tasty!

    Delicious, with some flatbread. Very nice and fresh.

    There is a marriage made in heaven, and that is eggplant and tahini. Oh, goodness, how magic happens with that combination. There are a quadzillion recipes that feature that specific combination, and it is no wonder. They tend to be Middle Eastern in origin, or in style. This recipe is no exception – it is Middle Eastern, it is magic, and it is delicious. The combination features pomegranate molasses, and the usual garlic and lemon juice. You will adore it.

    This was so surprising! I was expecting a variation of baba ganoush but this one has its own flair enough to be its own mezze. The cucumber and pomegranate adds soooo much!

    Unbelievably delicious. I added the cherry tomatoes. Don't think they are necessary. The key is getting the right amount of 'burn' on the eggplant. That smokey taste is essential. I used my grill to great effect.

    Great recipe. Can be served with a variety of meats (my favourite is harissa marinaded lamb) and pita/flat bread. Make sure you season it right to bring out all the flavour of the tahini and eggplant.

    Fabulous! My mouth is watering right now just thinking about how good this was. Tried to save some for leftovers, but ended up sticking my head in the fridge and eating the rest of it. Next time, double or triple the recipe.

    Amazing version of a kind of baba ganoush. Have made it a number of times.

  • PinchOfSalt on September 04, 2014

    Wow. Really really good. I have made this a number of times. The dough blade in my Cuisinart food processor is great for doing the mixing. Do not attempt this recipe using only the chopping blade. The texture and appearance are all wrong. (Who would have expected such a huge difference?)

    This dish is delicious. I don't like baba ganoush, so wasn't sure about this recipe, but the pomegranate molasses adds such a different taste profile. I'll be making this again.

    Amazing! The pomegranate seeds make it special, give it interesting texture. Very rich, garlicky.

    An excellent dish! I didn't have any Pom seeds, and it was still an outstanding recipe, I can't wait to make it again.
