YOTAM OTTOLENGHI'S BABA GHANOUJ, DECONSTRUCTED
For this summery recipe, eggplant is charred on the stove - or, if the weather cooperates, on a grill - and fanned out onto a plate. Drape over it some olive oil and tahini, a deeply flavored tomato mixture and a sprinkle of good salt.

Steps:
- Char the eggplant. To cook on a stove, place each eggplant directly over an open medium flame, and cook for 15 or 20 minutes, using tongs to turn the eggplant a number of times, until the skin is charred all over and the flesh is soft and smoky. To cook on a gas or charcoal grill, place the eggplants on the grill, and cook over medium-high heat, using tongs to turn the eggplant until the skin is charred all over and the flesh is completely soft and smoky.
- Remove the eggplants from the heat, and place on a rack to cool and drain, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, leaving the stalks intact, and place them on a large plate. Using your fingers, coax each eggplant into a fan shape, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and drizzle with a tablespoon of tahini.
- Meanwhile, mix the grated tomato in a medium bowl with the garlic, oil, lemon juice and another pinch of salt. Spoon the mixture over the eggplants and tahini, leaving some of the eggplant visible, and then sprinkle with the oregano leaves and a final dusting of salt.

BURNT BABA GANOUSH
If you're searching for a baba ganoush that has a strong smokey flavor to it, this is the recipe for you. It's is a refinement on a combination of two recipes, and so credit to Mimi Bobeck for her ingredient list and a friend of mine who suggested "cooking the hell out of" the eggplant on a barbeque. And this works as very well. In fact, I learned that it's hard to overcook these things when I had put the eggplant on the grill and promptly forgot about it, for nearly an hour at 475°F! And it worked perfectly.

Steps:
- Preheat the barbeque to 475°F.
- Pearce the eggplant in several places with a fork.
- Bake the eggplant for 45-50 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times.
- Remove from heat and let cool about 10 - 15 minutes.
- Remove the skin, and optionally reserve a small portion.
- Mash the eggplant with a fork. The eggplant should not be stringy.
- If you want extra smokey, finely chop a bit of the skin.
- Add tahini and mix, about a tablespoon at a time, to taste.
- Add remainder of ingredients, except for the olive oil. Depending on the size of the eggplants you will need to add a bit more of the other ingredients. The result should have a half-lumpy/half-creamy consistency.
- At this point, you can drizzle olive oil and sprinkle the parsley to taste and serve warm. Alternatively, to allow the garlic to blend, I find that setting it aside for a few hours also works well.
- Spread on a serving plate and serve with pita bread.

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the eggplant from sticking to the pan. Halve the eggplants lengthwise and brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil. Place them in the prepared pan with the halved sides down.
- Roast the eggplant until the interior is very tender throughout and the skin is collapsing, about 35 to 40 minutes (this might take longer if you are using 1 large eggplant). Set the eggplant aside to cool for a few minutes. Flip the eggplants over and scoop out the flesh with a large spoon, leaving the skin behind.
- Place a mesh strainer over a mixing bowl, then transfer the flesh to the strainer and discard the skins. Pick out any stray bits of eggplant skin and discard. You want to remove as much moisture from the eggplant here as possible, so let the eggplant rest for a few minutes and shake/stir the eggplant to release some more moisture.
- Discard all of the eggplant drippings, drain and wipe out the bowl, and dump the eggplant into the bowl. Add the garlic and lemon juice to the eggplant and stir vigorously with a fork until eggplant breaks down. Add the tahini to the bowl and stir until it’s incorporated. While stirring, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue stirring until the mixture is pale and creamy, and use your fork to break up any particularly long strings of eggplant.
