    We all know that the Thermomix kicks butt when it comes to dip... and this yummy Baba Ghanoush is no exception! Yep, this delicious eggplant dip makes a great alternative from your usual hummus or roast capsicum dip and is oh-so-good when served with some crusty bread (or better yet, our Turkish Pide!).

    Thermomix Baba Ghanoush

    To get a really good baba ghanoush you need to grill your eggplant. It's the only way to get that beautiful, traditional smokey flavour. As much as I love the Thermomix - it's just not going to do the job here! So use a naked flame on your gas stovetop or BBQ to grill the outside of a whole eggplant. Once it's chargrilled, cut it in half and pop it in the oven to cook completely (until all of the inside has softened).

    A white ramekin filled with Baba Ghanoush dip.

    Now is where your thermie comes in handy! Place the garlic cloves into the TM bowl and mince on Speed 8 for 5 seconds. Scrape own the sides of the bowl and repeat. Scoop the inside of the eggplant into the TM bowl and discard the skin. Press Turbo approximately 5 times until you have a nice thick, chunky texture. Add in the remaining ingredients and press turbo until everything is combined and you have the texture you desire (I prefer my Thermomix Baba Ghanoush a little chunky, whereas I know other people who prefer it quite smooth).

    Serve with a little drizzle of olive oil, some fresh olives and a slice or two (or 10!) of delicious Thermomix Turkish Pide. Yum!

      Hi there. I made this today but it came out super mushy. It’s hard to know how long to cook the eggplant for and what size it should be. Although it tasted good, I don’t think my eggplant was quite large enough. Just thought I’d let you know - you might be able to add a bit more advice in your recipe.
