Ingredients

2 aubergines
2 tbsp. tahini (sesame paste)
1 small clove of garlic
A little juice of a lemon
2-3 tbsp. olive oil
1.5 tsp. cumin
Salt, pepper
Parsley (for Serving)
Pomegranate seeds (for Serving)

Instructions

Step 1 of 4:

 

Prick the aubergines several times with a fork and bake in the oven at 220 °C for about 35–40 minutes, until soft. The skin can darken - that gives it the typical smoky flavour.

Step 2 of 4:

 

Let the aubergines cool slightly, then scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon. Let any excess liquid drain off briefly.

Step 3 of 4:

 

Mix the aubergine flesh with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and cumin. Traditionally, Baba Ghanoush is mashed rather coarsely instead of being blended completely smooth.

Step 4 of 4:

 

Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and optionally serve with parsley or pomegranate seeds.
