Aubergine dip with pitta bread

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Starters
The secret of the dip also known as 'Baba Ganoush' is 'smokiness'. We achieve this by roasting the aubergine until its skin starts to char. The creaminess of its flesh and the nutty oiliness of tahini (sesame paste) form this perfect emulsion, brightened by the acidity of lemon.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prick the aubergines with a fork and roast at 200°C (or under the grill) until the skin is black and wrinkled, and the inside is completely soft.

Tip: Charring the skin gives the smoky flavour, and the inside must collapse (breakdown of cell structure).
2 ✓

Let cool, then cut in half and scrape out the flesh. Discard the skin.

Tip: Cooling in the steam softens the flesh further.
3 ✓

Drain the aubergine flesh, then blend (or chop finely with a knife) with the tahini, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: The emulsion is stable when the tahini and oil mix completely with the vegetable pulp.
4 ✓

Serve with warm pitta and fresh parsley.

Tip: Sprinkle the pitta with water before heating to keep it soft.

Recipe FAQ

The dip became bitter.
The juice of the aubergine can be bitter. After roasting, put the flesh in a sieve and let the juice drip out before seasoning.
It turned brown while standing.
This is oxidation (like with apples). Lemon juice not only flavours but acts as an antioxidant to inhibit browning.
