Smoked aubergine purée
Prep: 5 Minutes - Cook: 30 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

This smoked aubergine purée is great served with grilled meat or chicken and also makes a simple lunch for vegetarians with some toasted or griddled pitta breads.

Ingredients

2 medium aubergines

juice 1 lemon

2-3 garlic cloves, crushed

150ml pot thick yogurt

small bunch dill, leaves chopped

Method

  1. Heat grill to very hot. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways, then grill for 25 mins, turning occasionally, until soft – the skin will remain firm, but the flesh will soften. lift the aubergines off the grill and leave until cool enough to handle.

  2. using a sharp knife, score the grilled flesh and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Tip into a bowl and mash with a fork until you get a thick pulp. Beat in the lemon juice and garlic. Add the yogurt and dill, and season. Serve while still warm.
