Cooking, Recipes, Wine............ and Ethical Foie Gras - At Last!

No photo for this one because it's not a beautiful dish - so I try to put it in a decorated dish.  But it's easy to make and delicious.

2 aubergines
1 large onion
2 tbspn tahini
1 clove garlic
salt to taste

Roast the aubergines in a hot oven on a baking tray for about 40 mins, then let them cool. Always best to prick the aubergines first. You can also burn the skins before baking if you have a gas hob to give a smokey flavour.

Chop the onion and saute in about 3tbspn olive oil but let it caremelise and brown quite a bit.

Scoop the flesh from the aubergines and mash it with the back of a fork, then work in the onion and salt to taste.

Now add about 2tbsp of tahini but be careful not to overdo it.

Crush a fresh clove of garlic into the mix and stir and that's it.

Serve with pita bread and other dips.
