Swaps & notes

As you get more comfortable making this recipe, you can mix up the ingredients a bit. Add more garlic, a little hot chili pepper for spice, different herbs, etc. This is a Lebanese baba ganoush recipe, but you can also opt for a Turkish baba ganoush recipe for a slightly different taste. Baba ganoush without tahini is also a possibility if you don't enjoy the flavor or want to mix it up.
