Ingredients

4 ea large aubergines
4 tbsp Greek yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch coriander leaves only, finely chopped
3 ea garlic cloves crushed
½ ea lemon juice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Instructions

Char the aubergines by putting them directly onto the gas burner and cooking them over medium heat for 30 seconds. When that side has blackened, use a tong and flip them over.
When both sides are charred, turn off the heat and set the aubergines aside to cool down.
Once they're cool enough to handle, strip away the blackened skin then transfer the remaining flesh into a colander and drain for 30 minutes.
Transfer the aubergines into a blender or food processor and pulse one or two times. Add in all the remaining ingredients and blitz once more. Feel free to add more salt and pepper, but be careful about squeezing more lemon juice as you don’t want this ingredient to overpower the aubergines.

Notes

Alternatively, you may char the aubergines on a griller or oven.
This recipe works well with crunchy snacks.
To enjoy its vegan version, simply replace Greek yogurt with an equal amount of coconut yogurt.
