Baba Ghanoush Burrito Bowl

[heart_this] · Feb 22, 2014 · 3 Comments

Baba Ghanoush Burrito Bowl

A Mediterranean style ‘burrito bowl’ with a base of baba ghanoush topped with seasoned ground lamb, plenty of fresh herbs, tomatoes, yogurt and feta.

After enjoying plenty of baba ghanoush over the past few days I could not help but wonder about turning it into a meal, burrito bowl style. Burrito bowls are basically just deconstructed burritos served in a bowl; they usually start with a base of rice, followed by beans, meat, fresh ingredients, cheese, etc. I figured that baba ghanoush would make an excellent base for a ‘burrito bowl’ and I wanted to keep things with a Mediterranean theme and topped it with a seasoned ground lamb, fresh tomatoes, Greek yogurt and a hit of feta along with plenty of fresh herbs. I have to say that this baba ghanoush burrito bowl exceeded my expectations making for a really tasty meal that is both satisfying and pretty light and healthy at the same time!

Baba Ghanoush Burrito Bowl
Serve with pitas for scooping or just dig in with a spoon! Feel free to omit the feta to lighten things up a bit or add kalamata olives, chickpeas, etc. to make it heartier.
