Tripod Cooking
Method
ROAST THE AUBERGINES
Place the aubergines whole into the Tripod Roaster and suspend on the Cooking Tripod over a medium heat for approximately 30 minutes.
CHAR ON THE GRILL
Slice the aubergines in half lengthways and place them cut side down directly onto the Grill. Cook until they are fully charred and soft in the middle.
MAKE THE AUBERGINE PASTE
Remove from the Grill and scoop out the soft aubergine flesh. Using a fork, mix the aubergines well to create a smooth paste.
MIX THE SEASONING
In a bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and juice. Then add the oil and tahini, mixing thoroughly.
COMBINE
Scrape the aubergine paste into the seasoning mixture and combine well with a fork.
TOAST THE PITTA
Toast the pitta breads on the Grill for a minute or so until nicely coloured on both sides.
SERVE
Serve the baba ganoush alongside the warm pitta breads.
