So much fun to say…and even more fun to eat! This easy Baba ganoush changed the hubby’s mind about eggplant!

My hubby wasn’t too sure how he felt about eggplant…I like to take his ‘not too sure’ thoughts on foods as a challenge and introduce him to a new way of trying things.
Baba ganoush was a great way to show him a new take on eggplant!

Lots of garlic and a good whirl around the food processor made this dip so delicious and creamy, he didn’t want to share!

Served it with a loaded tray of fresh veggies and BreadMasters Sangak crisps!

Here are some other ideas that go with these delicious Sangak crisps…
