Background

When the BBQ is still going, it’s worth putting a few veggies on it. For example, over the hot ashes you can slow-cook aubergine, garlic, peppers, courgette, onion and so on. Then you can use these veggies to make salads, fillings, pasta/pizza sauces and dips for later meals. This BBQ aubergine and red pepper dip is good example, which you can create in just 5 minutes (and it's more healthy & tasty than any shop-bought dip & sauce). Serve it with crisps and crudites or use it as pasta/pizza sauce.

Ingredients

1 large onion
1 aubergine
1 red pepper
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 ripe tomato
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper
1 handful of mint
Lemon juice, to taste

Instructions

Barbecue the onion, aubergine and red pepper until charred, then let them cool under cover.
Remove their skins, seeds and core etc and put their flesh into a food processor. Add the garlic and mint leaves.
Whiz until you get a coarse, textured paste.
Add the tomato, spices, and season to taste. Whiz again until you get a smooth cream.
Taste, and add more spices and some lemon juice to your liking.
Keep chilled until serving.
