Babaganouch without tahini - is that possible?

Posted by Maureen, March 22, 2009

I sit on the advisory board of our local Epilepsy foundation and we are having a gala this Thursday. I am doing all the appetizers for the event. One of the things I thought I would make is babaganouch, as I have some eggplant already cooked. However, every recipe I find when I google contains tahini - and the only criteria for our food is that it be nut-free.

Anyone got a recipe without tahini? Is this even possible? Should I be barking up another dip tree? I already have hummus (made without tahini) and red pepper dip.... (and a ton of other stuff, don't worry!)

And a shameless plug - this coming Thursday March 26 is Epilepsy Awareness Day - started by an 11 year old in Nova Scotia, Canada. Wear purple to show your support for Epilepsy research! (I am the parent of a child with a seizure disorder.)
