Baba Ganoush

Baba ganoush is a delicious mezze of grilled aubergine, seasoned with garlic, lemon and cumin. The key is to get the aubergine thoroughly charred and soft - don’t be afraid to really burn the aubergine as the skin is discarded and this dip is at its best if the flesh retains more of that lovely smoky, grilled flavour.

To make this recipe, you'll need:

KAMMUN BLEND: 1 ½ tsp

I had heard of someone charring aubergines in the embers of their wood burner overnight, so I decided to give it a try. I skipped the grilling step in the recipe and left the embers to work their magic. Sadly, by morning, one aubergine had been reduced to a charcoal shell, but the other was perfectly charred and cooked. I continued with the recipe, adjusting for the reduced quantities. The results were sufficiently tasty on some nice bread for breakfast to inspire me to try again in the future!
