I am making baba ganoush, muraq, and tabbouleh.
Oooh, I would love some baba ghanouj, but it always seemed too hard to make to me.
And what the hell is tahini?
It is sesame seed paste. For us a little bit goes a long way. I start with a little bit of tahini with baba ganoush and add into it because not all eggplants are created equal and an automatic ratio doesn't work.

Oh, okay. There's a wonderful little Mediterranean market right across the street from my regular supermarket where I can buy pretty much any ingredients I want, but all the labels are written in Arabic, so . . . not very informative.
I also don't know much about working with eggplant, since I utterly loathe the stuff, except for
baba ghanouj.
