Recipe Hints and Tips.
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.
For a smoother texture, mix the Baba Ghanoush for an extra 10 seconds or until the desired texture is achieved.
Serve with a little drizzle of olive oil, some fresh olives and a slice or two (or 10!) of delicious Thermomix Turkish Pide. Yum!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for up to two months, please note the consistency may change.

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.
