Aubergine Dip (Baba Ghanoush)

This classic aubergine dip, also known as baba ghanoush, is a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. By roasting the aubergines until the skins are charred, the flesh takes on a deep, smoky flavour that contrasts beautifully with the creamy tahini and zesty lemon. It is a simple yet sophisticated dip that celebrates the silken texture of well-cooked vegetables.

As a naturally vegan and gluten-free dish, this vibrant dip is perfect for a healthy snack or as part of a larger mezze platter. Serve it at room temperature with warm pita bread, crunchy crudités, or as a savoury accompaniment to grilled mains. Its rich, velvety consistency makes it an effortless crowd-pleaser for any casual gathering or weekend spread.

Ingredients for Aubergine Dip (Baba Ghanoush)

  • 2 to 3 medium aubergines (about 1.4kg total)

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 80ml tahini

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

  • Juice of 2 lemons (about 80g )

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • N/A freshly ground black pepper

How to make Aubergine Dip (Baba Ghanoush)

  1. Preheat the oven to 232°C. Rub the outside of the aubergines with olive oil and place them in a roasting plan. Roast the aubergine until the skin has charred and the interior is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

  2. Peel and seed the cooled aubergine, roughly chop the flesh, and then transfer it to the bowl of a food processor.

  3. Into the processor bowl add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, some salt and pepper to taste, and a few teaspoons of cold water. Process the mixture to a coarse paste, adding a bit more water as needed to allow the mixture to blend.

  4. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
