This charred aubergine and tahini spread is a sophisticated vegan dip that celebrates the smoky, deep flavours of roasted Mediterranean vegetables. By roasting the aubergine at a high temperature until the skin blisters and the flesh softens, you create a rich base that carries the nutty notes of sesame and the warmth of ground cumin beautifully. It is a lighter, more textured alternative to traditional baba ganoush, making it an excellent addition to any plant-based spread.
Serve this savoury dish as part of a classic mezze platter alongside warm flatbreads, crunchy radishes, and chilled crudités. It also works wonderfully as a healthy sandwich filler or a base for a roasted vegetable wrap. Packed with heart-healthy fats from the olive oil and tahini, this homemade spread is as nutritious as it is delicious.
