Recipe for turmeric golden baba ganoush the classic aubergine recipe from Nikibakes

Method

01
Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Cut the aubergines in half lengthways and score a diamond pattern into the flesh using a small, sharp knife then brush over some of the oil and season with salt. Pierce the skin in a few places with a sharp knife before grilling. Roast the aubergines, cut-side down, on a baking tray for 20-25 mins until charred and collapsed. Leave to cool. This can also work on an open fire. 
02
Scoop out the cooled aubergine flesh into the bowl of a food processor, then add the garlic, ground cumin, turmeric powder, coriander powder, tahini and lemon juice.
03
Season well, then blitz to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in all but 1 tsp of the remaining oil until thick and smooth. Season to taste. Spoon into a dish, drizzle with the reserved oil, scatter with the parsley, if using, the aleppo chilli flakes and serve with flatbreads, pittas or vegetable crudités for dunking. Enjoy!
