Method
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Stab the aubergines with a fork and grill them, turning occasionally, until the skin blisters and blackens all over.
- When cool, peel off the skin. Leave the aubergine flesh in a colander for 15 minutes to drain off excess liquid.
- Pound the garlic and salt until smooth with a pestle and mortar.
- Transfer to a food processor.
- Add the aubergine flesh, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, pepper and yoghurt, if using. Whiz to a thick puree.
- Adjust the seasoning.
- Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
