Ingredients

• 1 medium aubergines
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• juice of half a lemon
• Pinch sea salt

Method

1. Prick the skin of the aubergine several times and roast in a hot oven for approx 40 mins until the skin has blackened. Alternatively, roast over the hot embers of a bbq or campfire.
2. Allow the aubergine to cool and then halve the aubergine lengthways and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
3. Put the aubergine flesh and all the other ingredients into a blender and whizz up until smooth
4. Season with a generous pinch of sea salt and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and a drizzle of olive oil

Top tips:

When you pierce the kin, make sure the knife/skewer goes into the flesh a little so that steam can escape easily as the aubergine cooks.

If you have smoked sea salt, that would be a delicious addition/alternative to your seasoning.
