Ingredients

  • 4 aubergines
  • 4 red peppers
  • Oil, for brushing
  • 4 plump garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 300ml Greek yogurt
  • Good handful roughly chopped fresh coriander
  • 8 pitta breads, to serve

Method: How to make red pepper and aubergine dip

1. Light the barbecue. Lightly brush the aubergines and peppers with oil. Place over a direct medium heat, close the lid and barbecue for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until blackened and tender (or cook under a hot grill). Remove and set the aubergines aside to cool slightly. Put the peppers in a plastic food bag, seal and cool for 15 minutes.

2. When the aubergines are cool enough to handle, halve lengthways and scoop the flesh into a food processor. Discard the skins. Halve, deseed, de-stalk and peel the peppers, then add to the food processor with the garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon juice and seasoning. Whizz to a purée. Add the yogurt and coriander and whizz briefly. Check the seasoning.

3. Sear the pittas on the barbecue for 1-2 minutes. Cut each pitta into strips and serve warm with the dip.
