Low Fat Baba Ghanoush & Beautiful Lunch Bag

When I was at Costco the other day buying xmas prezzies and huge portions of veggies and staples like dijon mustard and quinoa I stumbled across this. It looks like a handbag but is actually an insulated lunch bag! Sorry if this is old news to you but I'd never seen one before.

Needless to say I was stoked. No more looking silly getting healthy food to work with me!

Now, I know this isn't traditional because I've left out the tahini but it still tastes great and your waistline will thank you!

Baba Ghanoush (Low Fat)

Makes 4 serves
Juice of 1 lemon

1 large eggplant

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1/4 tsp aesofatida

2 tsp ground cumin

• Preheat oven to 180
• Cut Eggplant in half lengthwise & pop on a non stick tray
• Roast until tender (40 mins? depends on the oven and size)
• Scoop out the soft insides of the eggplant
• Combine all other ingredients
• Blend to desired consistency (I like it both smooth and chunky)
• Enjoy as a dip with veggies, crackers, in sandwiches/wraps or as a dressing for a salad/veggies

This one is a great addition to your veggie & dip platter- too bad this tasted so good there's none left for everyone else tomorrow! Never fear, I made a couple of other dips to bring but I wasn't about to put the oven on in 30+ degrees to make more. If you like eggplant, give this dip a try- you'll love it :)

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! xxx
