Ingredients
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 40ml extra virgin olive oil
- Parsley: 1/2 small bunch parsley, finely chopped
- Lemon: 1 large lemon, juiced
- Tahini: 2 tbsp tahini
- Ground Cumin: 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- Ground Coriander: 1/4 tsp ground coriander
- Aubergines: 2 medium aubergines
- Flatbreads Or Pitta Bread: flatbreads or pitta bread, to serve
Directions
- Heat the grill to its highest setting. Put the aubergines on a baking sheet and grill for 35-40 mins or until completely softened, blackened and blistered, turning them halfway through with a pair of tongs. Set aside and leave to cool completely.
- Once your aubergines are cool enough to handle, gently peel off the charred skin and discard. Transfer the flesh to the large bowl of a food processor along with 30ml of the oil, the coriander, cumin, tahini, lemon and half the parsley. Season and pulse the flesh three or four times to create a chunky textured dip.
- Transfer the dip to a bowl and drizzle with the remaining oil, scatter over any leftover parsley and serve with warm flatbreads or pitta.
