I know... when you think "baba ghanouj" you think "what's so protein-heavy about eggplants and olive oil?" Well, when I looked up recipes for it, one thing stood out:
Tahini.
A quarter cup of tahini has 10.5 grams of protein. While that's not a whole lot spread out over two cups of dip/spread, those few grams here and there add up. So I decided to make a baba ghanouj recipe without tahini, and what I got was pretty darned tasty.
Hat tip to Cookie and Kate for the tip about roasting the eggplant.
