- Cut the aubergine vertically into 1cm slices. Brush them with oil, then grill them on the BBQ or in a griddle pan until soft and lightly charred.
- Meanwhile mix a spoonful of olive oil with the minced garlic and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the tahini paste with the lemon juice, then add some warm water (about 2 Tbsp) to make a thick sauce. Season it with salt and pepper (you can add some minced garlic to it too).
