Instructions

Ingredients

2 Aubergines
½ tsp Salt
4 tbsp Olive oil
2 Garlic cloves (crushed)
3 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Natural yoghurt
1 Lemon (half zest, whole juiced)
Parsley (handful to serve, finely chopped)
Blender or food processor

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan /400°F/ gas mark 6
Take the aubergines and halve them lengthways. Cut deep gashes across the flesh of the aubergines, and sprinkle over half a teaspoon of salt, rubbing it in well. Set aside for 10 minutes, and then run the aubergines under cold water to wash off the salt. This will remove the bitterness of the aubergines. Pat them dry
Rub your first Teaspoon Club spice packet deep into the flesh of the aubergines. Place the aubergines flesh side down onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, until they are totally soft
Remove from the oven and set the aubergine aside for 10 minutes before using, shaking off any excess moisture once you are ready to make your baba ghanoush
Scrape out the flesh of the aubergines and place directly into a food processor. Add the olive oil, garlic cloves, tahini, natural yoghurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and your second Teaspoon Club spice packet. Pulse to blend, being careful not to over blend, as your baba ghanoush should have a slightly rough texture
Sprinkle over the parsley to serve. Serve warm or cold with chopped vegetables and flat bread

Notes

This baba ghanoush is delicious warm or cold, perfect with vegetables or crisps. The smoky flavour of the aubergine is irresistible.
