Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Pierce the aubergine a few times all over with a knife. Next, using your hands, rub the aubergine with the olive oil. Roast in the oven for 30–40 minutes until beginning to char.


  2. 2

    When the aubergine is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, and put the roasted flesh in a blender or food processor. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and cumin, and blend to a purée.


  3. 3

    Taste, and season with salt and black pepper, adding more lemon juice if needed. Blend again briefly. Spoon into a bowl or serving dish, and serve with pitta breads.
