Aubergine Dip (Baba Ghanoush)

Ingredients for Aubergine Dip (Baba Ghanoush)

• 2 to 3 medium aubergines (about 1.4kg total)

• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 80ml tahini

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

• Juice of 2 lemons (about 80g )

How to make Aubergine Dip (Baba Ghanoush)

1. Preheat the oven to 232°C. Rub the outside of the aubergines with olive oil and place them in a roasting plan. Roast the aubergine until the skin has charred and the interior is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

2. Peel and seed the cooled aubergine, roughly chop the flesh, and then transfer it to the bowl of a food processor.

3. Into the processor bowl add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, some salt and pepper to taste, and a few teaspoons of cold water. Process the mixture to a coarse paste, adding a bit more water as needed to allow the mixture to blend.

4. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
