From Pan to Jar Recommends
Curiosity: Baba ganoush, in the Middle East, is also called eggplant caviar.
The quick eggplant pesto keeps in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, stored in an airtight glass container. A jar with a screw cap will also work.
*Tahini, not to be confused with tagine spices, is a paste made from toasted sesame seeds.
Quick Eggplant Sauce
If you don’t particularly love spices or prefer an Italian version of eggplant pesto, blend them with 1 clove of garlic, 8 basil leaves, a chili pepper, a pinch of oregano, oil, and salt.
