I love dips, especially hummus and tzatziki, but I recently had the most amazing baba ghanoush at a local middle eastern restaurant and kept going back for more. After a few visits, I decided it was time to try recreating it on my own. This recipe is more of a whipped baba ghanoush (vs a chunky one) and is similar to hummus but made with eggplant instead of chickpeas. The secret ingredient to what makes it really shine? Pomegranate molasses.


If you are unable to find this ingredient in your local grocery store, try Amazon! It seriously elevates the flavors in this dish. For more recipes, check out my Instagram @tikofoods.
