Day Thirty Nine: Aubergine Dip

Dear David,

A wee cheeky aubergine dip. Lovely with chicken strips and side salad.

Aubergine Dip

Ingredients

3 aubergines
Coriander
Garlic
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lime

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200 Celsius and, while it’s hotting up, cut the aubergine into thick slices. Spray sparingly with a no-fat cooking oil and then stick in the oven, turning once, until they are blackened all over.

Once done, put the aubergines in a plastic bag. When they are cool enough to handle, strip away the blackened skin and put the flesh in a colander to drain for 30 minutes.

Transfer the aubergine to a bowl, then mash with a fork or blitz with a hand blender, but don't make it completely smooth. Add the coriander, garlic and some of the lemon and lime juice. Taste and add more lemon or lime juice if necessary, but be careful not to overwhelm the flavour.
