  4. Slowly add the olive oil as you continue blending.

    Baba Gounsh is sensational. I serve this with a lamb back-strap (done on the BBQ) and salad The only thing I did differently was to cook the garlic differently. I cooked a whole bulb in a slow oven - slice off just the very top, and drizzle with olive oil. Cook for about 45 mins, let cool for 10 min, then squeeze out the pulp and use this instead of the crushed garlic - gives it a more rounder and robust but not strong flavour. Serve with a salad of rocket and haloumi and dried cranberries with a dressing of caramalised balsamic vinegar and olive oil.. YUM.
