Baba Ganoush is a traditional Lebanese dip made with smoked Eggplant. Often confused with Moutabal, this dip uses a few extra ingredients like finely chopped Tomatoes, Onions, Parsley etc which sets it apart from Moutabal. The main difference though between a classic Baba Ganoush and Moutabal is the absence of Tahina in the former.
