Baba Ghanoush (Eggplant dip)

The first time I hosted a dinner for work colleagues, I was a little nervous. So many different dietary restrictions to consider. We have vegetarians, vegans, and someone with Celiac disease and is strictly gluten-free. I stuck with Middle-Eastern foods and it was a hit! There was something for everyone. This baba ghanoush dish is something that is not regularly found in my small town grocery store, and so many people enjoyed trying it!
