Baba ghanoush (Arabic:بابا غنوج bābā ghannūj, also appears as baba ganush, baba ghanouj or baba ghanoug) is a Levantine dish of cooked eggplant mixed with onions, tomatoes, olive oil and various seasonings. The Arabic term means "pampered papa" or "coy daddy", perhaps with reference to a member of a royal harem.
