Twist on aubergine

Babiche Martens

Aubergines are simple to prepare. This take on baba ganoush includes fresh, chopped tomatoes and olives. Serve it with grilled chicken for a meal, on crackers with a glass of wine, or add to a salad instead of dressing.

Ingredients

1	Aubergine
1	Garlic clove, crushed
2 Tbsp	Lemon juice
1 Tbsp	Olive oil
¼ cup	Greek yoghurt
2 small	Tomatoes, quartered
¼ cup	Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
¼ cup	Chopped mint
4 pieces	Bread, to serve

Directions

1. Over a flame on a gas ring or barbecue char the aubergine on all sides. Allow it to cool enough to handle, split down the middle and scoop the centre out into a bowl. Discard the skin.
2. Add the garlic, lemon juice, oil and yoghurt. Mash with a fork and season to taste.
3. Stir through the tomatoes, olives and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve with freshly sliced bread.
