Baba Ghanoush or Baba-Ganouj (Arabic بابا غنوج), babaganuş, eggplant salad (Turkish), melitzanosalata (Greek μελιτζανοσαλάτα) is a kind of popular Middle Eastern dish made primarily of eggplant (aubergine), mashed, and mixed with various seasonings. Frequently the eggplant is baked or broiled over an open flame before peeling, so that the pulp is soft and has a smoky taste [1]. There is a great variety of similar aubergine-based dishes, some of which are known as "eggplant (aubergine) salad" or "baklazhannaya ikra".

HI DEDE GREAT SITE
HOW LONG SHOULD I BAKE THE EGGPLANT FOR?
HI Hannah,
You should poke some slits in the eggplant with a knife then place it on a baking sheet and roast it for 45minutes to an hour in the oven, or until it is very tender.
