Smoked aubergine purée

Smoked aubergine purée

Ingredients:

  • Aubergine - 2 medium
  • Lemon - Juice of 1
  • Garlic - 3 Cloves Crushed
  • Yogurt - 150ml
  • Dill - Bunch

Instructions:

step 1 Heat grill to very hot. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways, then grill for 25 mins, turning occasionally, until soft – the skin will remain firm, but the flesh will soften. Lift the aubergines off the grill and leave until cool enough to handle. step 2 Using a sharp knife, score the grilled flesh and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Tip into a bowl and mash with a fork until you get a thick pulp. Beat in the lemon juice and garlic. Add the yogurt and dill, and season. Serve while still warm.
