- I have made Baba Ganoush with the following recipe and it came
- out fine.
-
- 1 tub commercial baba ganoush + 1 big eggplant (I pierce with
- fork and let it bake in the middle of the oven, less hovering, but
- not as good a result). I don't remember how big the tub was (it
- was from Trader Joe's a great market out here) but I suspect it was 1
- pint.
-
- So, you may be able to use more eggplant thus reducing the amount of
- fat per serving.
-
- Good Luck,
-

- ps: I tried a similar trick with a spinach, water chestnut and cream
- cheese dip. I liked it better with (an extra) bag of frozen spinach
- (defrosted, drained, and pulverized in a food processor) added. I
- have no idea how big a bag is, but it is the biggest size of frozen
- vegie the supermarket sells.
