Smoked aubergine purée

Ingredients

• 2 medium Aubergine
• Juice of 1 Lemon
• 3 Cloves Crushed Garlic
• 150ml Yogurt
• Bunch Dill

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat grill to very hot. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways, then grill for 25 mins, turning occasionally, until soft – the skin will remain firm, but the flesh will soften. Lift the aubergines off the grill and leave until cool enough to handle.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife, score the grilled flesh and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Tip into a bowl and mash with a fork until you get a thick pulp. Beat in the lemon juice and garlic. Add the yogurt and dill, and season. Serve while still warm.
