Baba ganoush...

[growingvegetables]

The "smoky" taste of aubergines roasted/grilled/charred on the ring - just sublime.

With tahini, as baba ghanouj (like the grilled aubergine dip down this page http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/jun/24/foodanddrink.features3).

Or Yemeni style - as Mutabbal; no tahini - more like a "salad puree". Here - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...CQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=mutabbal yemeni&f=false

For those who don't much like aubergines - guess what? You'd not recognise them in these recipes

So where do we stand on the addition of tahini?

Or have we all gone the pomegranate molasses route?

The recipe I looked at added tahini so need advice on this very issue - pronto!

I put some in. Not too much or it ends up tasting just like hummus.

Well, you know Rich likes to turn every meal into an agonizing middle-class dilemma.

I resent the fact that la belle claud refuses to countenance that the working classes can eat such exotic delights what I cook. I swear like a navvy, work with my hands (stop it, just stop it) and failed my Latin 'o' level.

When I want culinary advice from someone who lives on prawn salad, I'll give you a ring smiffy

@Crackle sets a new standard for how wrong a person can be in a single post. Well, outside P&Lite, naturally...

Pah!

 

[theclaud]

Pah!

As Nigel Slater once said: "British cooks have come late to the aubergine - we probably tried to boil it..."

 

[rich p]

You are quite literally classless.

Quality!!!!

 

[theclaud]

Have you made it yet, then?

We had a bit of an aubergine-off in a rival middle-class thread, IIRC. I thought we'd put Crackle straight, but it doesn't seem to have worked. Mort's feta cheese and garlic ones sounded good - not got round to trying them yet.

Just transported an aub back from t' shop in the specially designed carrier.

One dreads to think what could occur in the event of an accident.

I could ganoush my babas.

 

[Dayvo]

That or other unconvincing explanations to A&E staff.

Ah, you had no luck with the light bulb theory, either, eh!

He'd just finishing boiling the aubergines then spotted your Nigel Slater post.
