I love Baba Ganouj. I recently made some to bring to a friend's dinner party and served it with veggies (including olives). I usually just serve it with pita bread triangles, but some of the guests couldn't eat bread. I have to admit that now I prefer Baba Ganouj with veggies. This is a smart way to incorporate the two.
For (grown-up's)appetizers, I love using Greek olives to stuff, but to please my wee one, I use the blakc olives. ;)
I love pita crisps too! I toast them with some fresh garlic on them!!
