baba ganoush

 Ingredients:

1 large aubergine
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
chopped flat leaf parsley
pomegranate to garnish (optional)


Method:
 
Grill the aubergine until the skin starts to bubble, turning it frequently until all sides are done and the aubergine feels soft. This can also be done in a hot oven.
Cut the aubergine in half and then scoop out the flesh into a food processor. add the garlic, tahini, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and lemon juice, then blend until smooth.
Pile the Baba Ganoush onto a  flat plate, garnish with parsley and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.

Kept in the fridge can last for up to 4 days but best enjoyed on the day of preparation.
