Description
Babaganoush with a bite
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small eggplants grilled or roasted
- Juice 1/2 lemon
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tbsp Pomegranate syrup
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of red chili flakes
- Fresh mint
- 2 tbsp Olive oil a dollop more to finish when serving
- 2 tbsp tahini
Instructions
Wash and prick the eggplants, then grill them the on the bbq until they are blackened, soft and collapsed.
Once cool enough, peel the skin from the eggplant, removing any big clumps of seeds if you want ( I just leave them in). Mash or use a food processor to make the eggplant smooth, then add the other ingredients and continue to mash/process until you have a fairly smooth consistency. Serve with naan, pita or vegetables as a dip or condiment. I like to serve it with naan, topped with tomatoes and a light dollop of olive oil and fresh herbs.
