Background
Traditionally, baba ganoush is made with aubergine cooked over fire which gives it that special, smoky flavour. Hummus is made with chickpeas. So this barbecued aubergine hummus is a fusion of the those two famous dips. Serve it with flatbread or crudites.
Ingredients
- 1 tin chickpeas, drained
- 1 aubergine, barbecued or grilled
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 handful wild rocket
- 1 Tbsp tahini
- Juice of ½ lemon (approx.)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp freshly ground toasted cumin
- 2 Tbsp chopped coriander or parsley leaves
Instructions
- Put the aubergine on the BBQ or grill and cook until it becomes soft, the skin wrinkled.
- Let it cool completely, then scoop out the flesh into a food processor.
- Add all other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, then process until you get a textured paste.
- Taste it and add more lemon juice and/or water of you want it thinner.
- Whiz again for a few seconds.
- Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, decorate with paprika/ cayenne.
- Keep chilled until serving.
