Baba ganoush without a blender: Ahmad Noori's roasted eggplant dip
Tahini, sweet roasted garlic and balsamic cherry tomatoes on top, all of it chopped by hand, for the doctor who stepped away from medicine to cook.

Roasted Eggplant Dip — So Creamy, No Blender Needed
Three recipes, one dip on top. Ahmad Noori, the medical doctor who says he has stepped away from medicine for now to cook plant-based food, opened his week with a roasted eggplant dip, and it has passed 320,000 views.
The idea is in the title: no blender. Eggplants, a whole garlic bulb and cherry tomatoes roast together, then the eggplant is chopped by hand and stirred with tahini, lemon and the soft garlic, with the tomatoes tossed in balsamic glaze and parsley spooned over the top. Viewers recognized it at once, and baba ganoush is one of the most liked replies. Others swap their own versions, with mint, caramelized onion or the eggplant straight on the flame, and one plans to stuff it into wraps.
A one-pot vegan lasagna soup followed a day later, the lasagna sheets broken right into a lentil and spinach broth. Then came Saturday's short, a one-pot broccoli mac and cheese with the shells cooked in the sauce, and in its first twelve hours it moved faster than anything else on the channel. Older recipes are still busy too: a skillet potato wrap with pesto and smoked tofu from twelve days ago, and the red lentil chips from late summer, billed at 12 grams of protein per serving, which are closing in on five million views.
The channel as a whole is running a little below its usual pace. Among cooking channels of similar size, Breanna Stark is having the biggest week, while Big Nibbles and Clement Leung are quieter than normal.
