WHAT YOU NEED
2 medium aubergine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lemon, juiced
4 tbsp. tahini
2 tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. ground cumin
smoked paprika
1 tbsp. parsley, chopped
What You Need To Do:
Preheat the oven to 450
F (230 C). Line a large baking tray with
baking paper.
Halve the aubergines lengthwise and brush the cut sides lightly
with olive oil. Place them in the prepared tray with the halved
sides down, roasting them for 35 40 minutes until the flesh is
very tender.
Once aubergines are cooked, set them aside to cool, then scoop
out the flesh with a spoon, discarding the skin.
Place the flesh on a sieve and leave for a bit (the longer, the
better) to allow all the excess liquid to drain away.
Place the flesh in a bowl, add the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive
oil, and cumin. Mash everything with a fork, and continue stirring
and mashing until the mixture is the creamy season to taste with
salt.
Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with smoked paprika
and chopped parsley to garnish.
