Can you guess what I am going to do with this beautiful
Thai yellow eggplant?
Well if you guessed scoop out the insides and roast them then whip them into a dip you would be absolutely right. Baba Ganoush my way, a little tahini, a little garlic, a little lemon juice, some parsley a few pine nuts, salt, pepper and process until smoothish.
Put mixture back into the eggplant shell and serve it like a tennis pro, aces baby aces. Toast points, pita points just score points with this bad boy.
Lets be honest here its a lot easier to eat it out of a bowl!

Oh my, if we lived across from each other, we would eat very well indeed! Pow the ball is in my court now...
Can you shove some through the interwebs?
PLEASE???!!!
That's a great looking eggplant, and tasty looking dip!
Eggplant mmm just the perfect one for lunch... I have something for you at http://memoryarchieved.blogspot.com/2008/11/spicy-vegetable-kurma.html
damn dog...your pictures are getting all "artistic" and crap....
chef e: oh yeah we would be 'livin' like thanksgivin'
anndi: I wish I could then I could make you addicted
lisaiscooking: It is a pretty little dude - and the dip is really tasty
ramya: thanks for the shout out
beth: no holding back now - actually its the difference between me being lazy and me being not lazy.
Elegant.. that is the word of the day- elegant..
buff: I can go with that - I remember when I was trying to push 'galore' and I couldnt get any takers....
Whoa, that eggplant is sweet. Never seen one like that before. Where did you get it?
Also, did not expect you to make it into a bowl and dip, but looks like a fun time to me!
yes, but a bowl is boring and the eggplant is ridiculously colorful!
That looks tasty--I dig baba ghanoush. Does the thai eggplant taste different than the big purple ones I'm used to?
and I dig the music! Perfect friday afternoon music--makes me even more ready to leave work!
I walk in my favorite bar, they ask if I want my usual, and I say; "That would be elegant"...and they love it..it sometimes isn't what you do, it's the way you do it!
the wind attack: "where did I get it" I know a guy who knows a guy....
tavolini: hard to tell with out a side by side comparison - it did seem to 'smooth' out nicer and less bitter than what I remember 'regular' to taste like - I am playing 'tennis pro radio' - last.fm is a decent site
buff: I need to try that - galore didnt seem to work - "would you like your usual" 'yeah galore' see it doesnt 'ring'
oh but I am rather fond of galore..you never cease to amaze me, ya know?
So creative! This is amazing!
your jacket awaits, sir....
e-mail me an address to send it to, and it shall be yours.
You have GORGEOUS photos.
Okay. That is like the best post title ever.
looks interesting! what do you dip in it?
I'm longing for the photos of you in Beths creation: the Master jacket!
snugs: damn thats some big shoes to fill if I gotta keep on amazing
meg: thanks so much for stopping by
beth: you are the best of the best of the best -
joie: wow thats so nice - thanks
barry: I try - Oh how I try....
anette: bread or potet lompe or crackers - I cant wait to see it too
Hey DB,
Don't publish this comment. I just wanted to let you know that I saw an advertisement for a web site that your stuff would be perfect for. It was on Atlanta Craigslist but with writing, it doesn't always matter where you are. I'm gonna see if I can find it again...I should have sent it to you when I first came across it.
Oh, I guess the comments will publish themselves. Anyway, there's a call for what you have here, check this out:
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wrg/917712948.html
You should check it daily...it only takes a minute or two.
I bet it would taste good with potet lompe, or potet lefse! Lefse, is quite similar to lompe, but usually square, and maybe the lompe's are a bit dryer than the lefse's. Wish I could send you a packet!
You sir, are having WAY too much fun in the kitchen.
And please keep it up!
Lovely photo and humorous prose.
This looks crazy fun!
What a great way to use all of the eggplant! The dip looks amazing!
I'm not sure if you did this, but you can slice off a tiny bit of the eggplant at the bottom to make it level. Then the eggplant will stand "upright" and not roll when you're trying to get to the dip!
Nice work!
