Raymond,

Growing up in Beirut, Lebanon, I had plenty of Baba Ghanoush, and I have made it quite often.  There was a place in Los Angeles that made it wonderfully.  I recently made it here.  It is really good.  A

You are full of surprises, Ron and Alexandra Seigel.  I have been so excited to be exploring this cuisine lately.  As you can tell by my presentation, I have a lot to learn, but it was still really good!

Raymond, you are quite the cook, and would not have come up with this.  I roast chiles on the grill often, but not eggplant.

Same with me, Joan Cox.  I roast chiles all the time, but never thought of doing the same thing to eggplants.  I wonder what else I am missing!  🙂

Hi Ray... enjoyed reading about how you prepared burnt eggplant... even though I'm not much of an eggplant eater, nor is my husband.

You sound like my sister, Nina Hollander.  She is not a fan, but I will keep trying new recipes until I find one that is irresistible. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hello Raymond - I have enjoyed eggplant in a number of ways.   Eating it is something where I can participate.  When it comes to the preparation of it - not so much.  Good for you as you explore your many talents.

Hi Raymond- my mother used to make eggplant parm and I loved it. I did try making eggplant once and both Larry and I got sick! LOL  I'm going to try it one more time on the grill...I love Baba Ganoush!

I hope this time the end result is a happy and delicious meal, Kathy Streib.  Mary Margaret has me on a vegetarian diet for a couple months so eggplant is in my future for quite some time.

Love eggplant and have never thought of cooking it this way...or combining it with Pomegranate seeds, Raymond. I'm definitely going to have to try this!

Good morning, Debe Maxwell, CRS.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out.  We found another new ingredient as well, pomegranate molasses. It is really good. 

Hi Brian England!  When you come to my house, you never know what you are  going to get.  It is usually worth the risk, though. 😇

My goodness Raymond Henson, SRES, GRI that sounds delicious and healthy too! I don't have a gas stove or a grill or I would try it. In TX most homes are all electric and most homeowners have barbeque grills too. I'm just not one who has gas or a grill. But hey! If I ever come to Elk Grove, CA, and met up with you, it would be a real treat!

There is an alternative, Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP.  You can "burn it" under a broiler, though I have not tried that yet.  Any time you have the opportunity to visit us in Elk Grove, we would be happy and privileged to have you over for dinner, burnt eggplant and much more.  Just ask Brian England what dinner at the Henson household is like.  😎
