Ingredients
  • 2 large eggplants
  • 50ml of olive oil
  • Half a lemon
  • 150ml of plain greek yoghurt
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • A pinch of ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to season.
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celsius
  2. Pierce the skin of the eggplant with a knife and then place them on a baking tray.
  3. Place in the oven and cook for around 45 minutes or until very soft.
  4. Remove from the oven and cut in half. Scoop out the flesh and place in a bowl. This should be very easy to do once they are completely cooked through.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the garlic and cook very gently for 1 minute. Add the cumin and cook very gently for another 30 seconds. You want to just heat it through.
  6. Add eggplant, olive oil and garlic mixture and the juice of the lemon into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  7. Gradually add the yoghurt and then season with salt and pepper.
  8. Chill in the fridge before serving.
