Baba Ghanoush - 5g Carbs, 3g Fiber, 2g Sugar
From: American Heart Association Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook
When Slow cooked baba ghanoush has a very mild flavor. If you want
a hint of smokiness of grilled or roasted eggplant, simply add a
touch of smoke paprika to this middle eastern favorite. Serve it
with toast or crudites... {since this is not low carb consider using
raw vegetables. Take care, Gloria}
