Baba Ganoush

This creamy, savoury dip tastes best at the height of summer when aubergines are in season. Though classic baba ganoush is grilled over an open flame ...for a smoky effect, here we have chosen to oven bake for ease. It’s also easier to scoop out rather than peel off the flesh, leaving you with more time to enjoy out of the kitchen. Aubergines get their characteristic purple colour from the antioxidant anthocyanin, which has been shown to protect against cellular damage.
