The Syrian Baba Ghanoush is one of the most famous Syrian and Arab appetizers The Syrian Baba Ghanoush recipe differs from the Egyptian Baba Ghanoush recipe in that it does not use tahini at all. Vegetables are also added like green and red peppers. There is also a difference in the method of preparation. The Syrian recipe depends on cutting the eggplant into small pieces, while the Egyptian recipe is mixed using a blender. Therefore, it is closer to the Salad than to a Sauce. Why is the Baba Ghanoush called by that name? There are many well-known tales about the reason for calling this recipe by this name, but the most accurate version dates back to the name of this recipe in the name of Baba Ghanouj in relation to a Christian priest who was called Baba Ghanoush in the first century AD in the Levant region. This priest was very kind and loved by all the people of his village. One of his students prepared this recipe for him as a gift. But he refused to eat it alone and asked all his students to share it with them. When the students ate this recipe, they liked it very much and began to cook it and since that day it is called Baba Ghanoush.
