Baba Ghanouj

Bake one large aubergine (make long cuts in the aubergine skin to avoid it exploding in the oven)  in a hot oven for 30 min. 

Remove the skin, and blend the flesh with a garlic clove, juice of half a lemon, a pinch of salt and 2-3 tbs of tahini

Cool in before serving.

Aubergine with yogurt

Slice an aubergine, not too thinly, brush with oil and bake in the oven until well cooked.You can fry the aubergine if you want, in which case you can reduce the amount of oil the aubergines soak up by salting them for 20 min.Wash  the salt off and dry the aubergine before frying.

Allow to cool and cover with yogurt and crushed garlic, serve cold as a side dish. Garnish with paprika and finely chopped parsley
