Baba – means dad, Ganoush – means spoilt ; as in such a treat to eat this dish. We love this dish and we’ve made a healthier version to keep it lower in fat, and big in flavour. If you do want to add extra tahini and olive oil on top…we also approve!

Ingredients

2 aubergines
70 g Tahini
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
3 tbsp plant based yoghurt
1 tsp salt
pinch ground pepper
1/4 tsp sumac

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220 C fan, cut eggplant in half lengthways, rub a little oil on the inside of the aubergine and place on a baking tray flesh side down, sprinkle with salt and cook for 40 mins until the aubergine is charred and collapsed and is super soft. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and season with lemon, salt or heat to your preference.
Or if you have a gas stove you can cook the aubergine directly on an open flame, turning occasionally, for approx 15 minutes or until charred and collapsed and super soft inside.
Allow to cool for a few minutes until you can handle them, into a medium mixing bowl, scrape out the soft flesh from the aubergine ( it should come away easily from the skin
Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and season with lemon, salt or heat to your preference.
