This smoky charred eggplant dip is one of my favorite dishes in a classic meze spread, a collection of small plates, salads and appetizers common throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean. Charring the eggplant until entirely blackened and soft is crucial to developing the flavor of the dish. If you don’t have a charcoal grill, you can achieve a similar effect using your broiler. I used my @badiaspices Moroccan blend in this recipe— adds so much flavor in seconds. I find I’m reaching for this one often. It’s just that good. #babaganoush #mediterraneandiet #mediterraneanfood #bigflavor #andrewzimmern #badiaspices
