Our friends at Tiesan Cafe in Dublin’s Portobello have sent us a recipe and have also sponsored this giveaway – you could win lunch for two at their gorgeous new cafe on Harrington St.
Tiesan’s Babaghannouj
2 medium aubergines, about 500g, cut into cubes- 125ml extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons tahini paste
- 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 bunch of parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- plain yoghurt, to taste
Serves 4-6: makes 500g
Toss the cubed aubergine in half the oil until coated. Arrange in a single layer in a shallow roasting tin or baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 200ºC (400ºF) Gas 6 for 20-25 minutes or remaining oil, lemon juice, tahini paste, garlic, parsley and sea salt into a food processor. Blend for about 36-45 seconds to give a coarse but creamy paste. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve warm, cool or chilled with an optional swirl of yoghurt or olive oil on top. Accompany with hot flatbreads, crisp fresh salad leaves or with roast lamb, as a vegetable or a sauce
