Bahraini Baba Ghanoush

Ingredients:

1 large eggplant

2 cloves garlic

2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp lemon juice

125 ml yogurt

3 tbsp olive oil

Several whole olives

Cooking Instructions:

Heat oven to 200C. Place whole eggplant on a baking sheet and bake until the outer shell is crisp and the inside is soft and mushy (about 1 hour). Let the eggplant cool, then remove and discard the skin and the green cap. Spoon the inside into a food processor or a blender. Add garlic, tahini, salt, lemon juice and yogurt. Purée until creamy. Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with olive oil and whole olives. Serve cold or warm, with sliced pita bread or vegetables for dipping.
