Baba Ganoush

A deeply smoky baba ganoush with charred aubergine, tahini richness, fresh herbs, and bright lemon acidity.

INGREDIENTS

     +    

3–4 aubergines

12g sea salt

     +    
to finish

50ml lemon juice

6 garlic cloves, finely chopped

12g mint leaves, finely chopped

15g flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

100ml olive oil

100g tahini

4g finely crushed black pepper

Method

     +    

Place the aubergines directly onto a hot grill or barbecue and char dry, turning regularly until evenly blackened all over (approximately 20 minutes).

Transfer to a tray and allow to cool.

Split the aubergines in half and carefully separate the soft white flesh from the blackened skins, discarding the skins.

Place the flesh into a muslin-lined colander, season with the salt, and hang or set over a bowl to drain at room temperature for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.

Once drained, pulse the aubergine flesh briefly in a mixer to a coarse texture, then transfer to a bowl.

Fold through the lemon juice, garlic, mint, parsley, olive oil, tahini, and black pepper using a fork.

Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
