Steps to make Baba Ghanoush:
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4 (177 degrees.) Slice the aubergines in half, lengthways. Score the flesh of the aubergines in a crisscross pattern, making sure not to cut through the skin. Place the aubergines on a baking tray, the flesh facing up. Drizzle with olive oil and salt. Bake in the oven until soft and mushy (45mis- 1hr.)
- Let the aubergines cool. Meanwhile juice the lemon and chop the garlic. Take a medium bowl and place a sieve over it, line the sieve with kitchen roll. Scoop out the cooled flesh of the aubergines into the sieve, making sure to remove the skin (I use my fingers but a spoon also works.) Using the back of the spoon press the aubergine against the sieve to remove the excess water- I recommend doing one at a time.
- Place the aubergine into a separate bowl or blender. Add all of the other ingredients. Blend everything together, if the mixture is too thick add some of the water pressed from the aubergines and some more oil. Aim for a creamy texture, if needed add more tahini to make the dip richer. Make sure everything is blended well.
- Serve in a separate bowl, sprinkled with some paprika and chopped parsley.
