Baba Ganoush with eggplant, tahini and lemon juice — Israel recipe

🇮🇱IsraelMedium

Sauces and Dips

Baba Ganoush

Smoky roasted eggplant mashed with tahini, lemon juice, and raw garlic into a rough, creamy dip that's simultaneously rich and light. The entire point of baba ganoush is the char — the eggplant needs direct contact with flame or the highest heat your oven can deliver, so the skin blackens completely and the flesh underneath turns silky and smoky. I char mine directly on the gas stovetop, which takes about fifteen minutes of turning and gets the best possible flavor.

Vegan Buddha Bowl with chickpeas, sweet potato and quinoa — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Salads

Vegan Buddha Bowl

Quinoa, crispy spiced chickpeas, roasted sweet potato, fresh avocado, and shredded purple cabbage, all brought together with a tahini-lemon dressing. Buddha bowls follow a five-part formula: grain base, plant protein, roasted vegetables, fresh raw vegetables, and sauce. There's no fixed recipe — the whole point is that you can swap nearly every component based on what's in season or what's in your fridge, and the bowl still works. What makes this version reliable: the chickpeas are properly dried before roasting, the sweet potato is cut small enough to caramelize rather than steam, and the tahini dressing is thinned down enough to actually coat everything rather than sitting on top.
