BabagaHummus Dip An Unrefined Vegan

Have you ever made a recipe based solely a name?  This was the case here.  One morning I made hummus and I made babaganoush.  As the food processor was doing its thing, the frankenword babagahummus popped into my head and I decided to see what would happen if I combined the two dips.

    Haha I have never heard of babaga Annie!! This sounds delicious though. I saw Giada make an eggplant hummus one time and have been dying to try that combo…yours sounds just perfect. My hubby loves eggplant but hates chickpeas, but I bet he’d like this combo 🙂

    In another life, I married into a Syrian family and learned to love all things Arab…well, except for Lamb and terrorism and stuff….but baba ganoush was a regular at lunch, dinner, anytime. This combination is just genius and what a nutrition packed snack, right?

    I adore both baba ganoush & hummus, and so I’m positive I’d be crazy about them together! It’s like when I eat the guacamole hummus from Trader Joe’s, how could I not enjoy it? Two great things that go great together! 🙂

    In other news, I love that awesome bowl!

    We do this too! I’ll have to use your mixed-name next time when my kids are dipping it. Eggplant is seriously good food. Easy to grow in your yard (and such pretty flowers!), and I can’t believe I never knew of baba ganouj until a restaurateur told me about it (http://wp.me/p28k6D-lo). When the grill is out of business, we roast eggplant right on the open flame of the gas stove. Cheers!

      I adore eggplants! We also grow them (love the little Japanese ones and the white ones, too), but we don’t have a grill – I’m sure that adds a whole different level of yummy complexity to them.

    This makes me smile, it’s such a fun word to try and say! Love the recipe too, will try it next week for dippage instead of plain hummus! 🙂

    I have an eggplant bush going nuts right now in the front of my house. This recipe will be perfect to use them in. I love hummus and I like roasting the eggplant first. Great recipe…thanks. 🙂
