Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant
  • 70 grams tahini
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 30 grams lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
  • Grill the whole eggplant over a naked flame on your gas stovetop or BBQ.
  • Once it's chargrilled, cut it in half and pop it into the oven to cook completely (until all of the inside has softened) - approximately 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Remove the skin and discard.
  • 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.
  • Press Turbo approximately 5 times until you have a nice thick, chunky texture.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and press turbo until all of the ingredients are combined and you have the texture you desire.
  • Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, kalamata olives and crusty bread.

Notes

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.
