Eggplant, tahini, lemon, garlic and liquid smoke. That’s it. Baba ganoush is really easy to make. For some reason it didn’t dawn on me to make it in the slow cooker until I got my bottle of pure roasted sesame spread. Then it hit me, duh this is yet another recipe perfect for a slow cooker conversion. Most baba ganoush recipes call for the eggplant to be roasted. We’re not roasting here; we’re putting the eggplant in the slow cooker straight raw. That’s where the liquid smoke comes in. Just a little is needed to add a nice smokey flavor to the dish.

This uses tahini. Don’t worry, it’s whole30 and paleo compliant. Tahini is a condiment made from toasted ground hulled sesame seeds. You should be able to find it at your local grocery store. This cooks quickly, in just an hour or so.

    My recipe wasn’t cooked in 1.5 hours on high, and it was just really watery. Did I do something wrong??

      Yikes! If you followed the recipe then no, you didn’t do anything wrong. How long did it take to cook? How big was your eggplant?

    […] This Sunday is Superbowl Sunday. I’m not having a party this year. Since the Steelers aren’t playing (I really thought this was their year), I’m looking forward to watching a stress-free game with my husband with no fanfare. Which also means we won’t be bingeing on tons of food. Just these wings and maybe an easy dip like my Slow Cooker Baba Ganoush. […]
