The bābā is an Arabic word that means ‘father’ and is also a term of endearment, while ġannūj could be a personal name. The word combination is also interpreted as “father of coquetry” or “indulged/pampered/flirtatious daddy” or “spoiled old daddy”.
Why is it called baba ghanouj?
It comes from the Arabic phrase baba gannuj, in which baba can mean father or daddy (or an endearment), and gannuj can mean coquettish or pampered. The dish, the OED says, was named “perhaps with reference to its supposed invention by a member of a royal harem.” So the pampered daddy may have been a sultan.

Baba Ghanoush is delicious. Made with eggplant that’s been fire roasted (either on a hot grill or under a broiler) to the point of shriveling, it can be served as a side dish. Typically, though, it’s a cold or room temperature spread, served with pita bread or crostini or crusty French bread…or a spoon.

Baba ganoush will keep well in the fridge for around 7 days in an air tight container. It freezes well too – let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour, and then place in an airtight container or freezer bag.
How do you fix bitter baba ganoush?
First, slice or cube the eggplant and then salt it. As the salt rests for about a half an hour, osmosis draws the water from the eggplant, taking the bitterness along with it. Another option to stave off bitterness is to simply remove the skins altogether. The latter is the route that I chose for my baba ganoush.
What is tahini paste made of?
Tahini is made of three ingredients: hulled sesame seeds, oil and sometimes salt. Hulled sesame seeds are typically toasted then ground and emulsified with oil to create a smooth, creamy seed butter with a pourable consistency.
