Quick and easy. An explosion of flavour. I used what I had at hand, and even though it might not be the traditional way to prepare Baba Ganoush, it turned out to be very delicious. I did not want to use such a lot of olive oil, so I added low fat cream cheese for a creamy texture instead. Serve with flat bread. Leave out cream cheese to go vegan :).
