On the coals: Baba ganoush

Op de kolen: Baba ganoush

Ingredients for a good dip:

  • 4 aubergines
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Juice of ¼ lemon
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Salt with hibiscus or sumac

How to make it:

  1. Prick holes in the aubergines and place them on the coals or on the grill. The holes make sure the skin of the aubergine doesn't burst because of the big temperature difference. They can sit in the flames.
  2. Take them off the fire when you feel that the flesh of the aubergine is very soft inside.
  3. Scoop out the aubergines and put them in a small chopper.
  4. Add the garlic, tahini and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Taste regularly while seasoning!
  5. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and some sumac or salt with hibiscus petals, which give a nice colour, or pomegranate seeds!

Enjoy!
