- To roast the aubergines pre-heat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Prick each aubergine all over with a fork to keep it from exploding in the oven.
- Roast aubergines in the middle rack until very soft to the touch and wrinkly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Let cool enough to handle. Then remove the outer skin of the aubergines and discard. Cut flesh into large, rough pieces, just small enough to fit into your food processor.
- In a food processor, chuck in all your ingredients, except the aubergines. Wizz together until combined. Now add your aubergines, and blitz only until just smooth. I prefer a bit of texture to my baba ganoush instead of it being completely smooth but you can do it however you prefer.
- Transfer baba ganoush into your serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up a bit.
- Serve with warm pitta bread, and some delicious smokey beer.
