Instructions

  1. 1
    Roast eggplants directly over a gas flame or under the broiler — until skin is black and shriveled. 15–20 minutes.
  2. 2
    Place in a bowl, cover with a plate. Steam for 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    Peel off skin (becomes easy when steamed). Squeeze out flesh — removes bitterness.
  4. 4
    Roughly chop or crush flesh with a fork — no smooth paste!
  5. 5
    Stir in tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and salt.
  6. 6
    Stir in cannabis-infused olive oil. Taste and adjust.
  7. 7
    Mound onto a plate, use a spoon to create an indent.
  8. 8
    Drizzle with regular olive oil, garnish with pomegranate seeds, parsley, and paprika.

Pro Tips

  • Roasting directly over flame gives the characteristic smoky flavor — oven works but is less intense.
  • Never heat cannabis-infused olive oil — stir it in cold as a dressing.
  • Baba ganoush needs texture — no food processor, only fork and knife.
