Baba Ganoush

 

This is a glorious garlicky mezze course with a new take on the

traditional recipe for Baba Ganoush

 

Servings: 4-6

Level of difficulty: Easy

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 5 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

2 medium aubergines (Eggplant)

juice of 1 lemon

1 garlic clove, crushed

Salt, and freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp Olive oil

2-3 tbsp Greek yogurt

 

 

Method

1. Push a fork into the stem of the aubergines and place the body

directly onto a high gas flame. Turn occasionally until completely

soft and collapsed; the skin should be blackened to the point of ash

in places, and steam should be escaping through the fork holes.

 

2. Remove to a plate and cool. Peel off the charred skin. Don't worry

if a few little charred bits remain, as they will add to the flavour.

 

3. Place flesh in a bowl and use a fork to mash together with

remaining ingredients until fairly smooth.

 

4. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.

 

Serve with a good flat bread or Pita Bread
