Ingredients

Method
  • 2 medium brinjals
  • 4 T Woolworths tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • salt, to taste

1.  Cook the brinjals over an open flame until blackened, turning them constantly so they cook evenly. Once black all over, remove from the heat and allow to cool a little.

2. Remove the skin and push the flesh through a colander to remove any excess liquid.

3. Cut the brinjals up slightly, then blend with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and a pinch of salt. Add some water at this stage if you prefer it less thick.
