  • Jeddah has unique Mediterranean flair this is
    because most people who are living there
    are original from the Mediterranean countries.

    Eating Customs&Manners: Try simple vegetarian Saudi dish (Baba Gannoj)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Jiddah Eating Customs&Manners
  • Baba Gannoj, I made it :o)
  • by majed81

  • The G in Gannoj pronounced like the French (R)

    Try simple vegetarian Saudi dish (Baba Gannoj)

    Very popular dish in the Middle East and each part
    of the Middle East have their own recipe.
    Here is the Saudi way.


    One big eggplant
    One small spoon of lemon salt
    2 fingers of garlic (cut it very small)
    4 big spoons of yogurt
    Small spoon of sesames
    3 big spoons of Sesame heavy oil (Tahina),
    look for it in Arabic markets
    Small spoon of salt
    Parsleys for decoration (cut it small)
    1 fresh lemon
    Olive oil
    Beta bread


    1) Barbeque the eggplant until you think it is cooked (I will lose most of the water and get smaller)

    2) Then peal the black skin of the eggplant.

    3) Try to cut it and mix it with the fork. You can use the mixture machine.

    4) Add the lemon salt, the salt, yogurt, sesame oil, garlic, and the sesame above the smashed eggplant. Mix them with the fork very well.

    5) Put it in a plate and add the Parsleys.

    6) Pore the olive oil as much as you like and it is ready to be eaten.
