Roasted eggplant puree is made by roasting whole eggplants until soft, then peeling and mashing the flesh. Stir in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt; mash with a fork for a rustic texture or blend for a smoother one.
Baba ganoush is a seasoned eggplant dip that commonly includes tahini, lemon, and garlic, while roasted eggplant puree can be a simpler base. Recipes vary, so the name alone does not guarantee whether tahini or other ingredients are included.
For roasted eggplant puree, roast whole eggplants over a flame, on a grill, or under a hot oven broiler until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft. Turn them during cooking so the flesh softens evenly.
No, roast the eggplant with its skin on, then peel it for roasted eggplant puree. The skin helps protect the flesh during cooking and develops the smoky flavor; remove any heavily burnt pieces if you do not want a strong charred taste.
Roasted eggplant puree can taste bitter if the eggplant itself is bitter or if too much burnt skin gets into the mash. Carefully peel the cooked eggplant, discard badly charred bits, and adjust the flavor with lemon juice and olive oil.
Add lemon juice to roasted eggplant puree soon after peeling and mashing to slow browning. Keep it covered and refrigerated when you are not serving it, since prolonged contact with air can darken the surface.
Drain the roasted eggplant flesh before mashing to prevent watery roasted eggplant puree. If it is already prepared, let it sit in a fine-mesh strainer or spoon off excess liquid; a little tahini can also make the texture richer.
Roasted eggplant puree keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon each time you serve it, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended period.
Yes, roasted eggplant puree can be frozen in airtight, portion-sized containers. Its texture may become watery after thawing, so defrost it in the refrigerator, stir well, and drain off any excess liquid before serving.
Roasted eggplant puree works well as a dip with pita, flatbread, or raw vegetables, and as a side for grilled meat or vegetables. Serve it chilled or at room temperature with a drizzle of olive oil.

Roasted eggplant puree is made by cooking eggplants until soft, then peeling and mashing the flesh. In Turkish-style versions, garlic, lemon and olive oil are common additions, though the seasoning and texture vary from kitchen to kitchen. It has a soft, slightly textured consistency and a pronounced smoky flavour from the roasted skin.
In Turkey, it is usually served cool or at room temperature as a meze, alongside kebabs and other grilled dishes, or scooped up with bread. It also works well as a dip or sandwich spread. The puree is a light, fibre-containing choice; a modest amount of olive oil keeps it that way while letting the eggplant’s smoky taste come through.
