How To Make Aubergine Dip

It's actually really easy to make our delicious Baba Ganoush recipe - very little hands on prep.

Step One - roast the aubergine

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6

• Slice the aubergines into half lengthways.

• Use a sharp knife to criss cross the flesh, this just helps them to roast faster. (don't cut through the skins though)

• Drizzle the aubergines with olive oil and then roast in a hot oven for around 30 minutes or until the flesh is soft and charring on top.

• Remove the aubergines from the oven and leave them on the tray until cool enough to handle.

Step Two - mix up the aubergine dip

• Scrape the roasted, soft aubergine flesh from the skins and place into the food processor.

• Add the tahini paste, lemon juice, pinch of salt, ground cumin and garlic powder.

• Blitz with the food processor a couple of times until you have a nice, dip consistency.

Step Three - serve the roasted aubergine dip

• Tip the aubergine dip into a serving bowl. If you like you can scatter over a little more ground cumin or smoked paprika and a teaspoon of Nigella seeds to decorate.
