We can't nail every meal!
Especially when we're cooking in someone else's kitchen!
On today's episode, Yumi and Simon both get pod therapy about their most recent disasters, and Simon does a do-over on a delicious Baba Ganoush.
DO-OVER BABA GANOUSH
2-3 eggplants, pricked with a skewer or fork (if you don't want to live dangerously)
Cook the eggplants WELL on the BBQ. Like, REALLY WELL, so they're blackened and blistered and completely yield.
Allow them to cool and sweat a bit on a plate, then rub off the skin, cut off the heads, and with the remaining soft cooked flesh, chop in up on a big board with a big knife.
In a big bowl, season with salt (but not too much), a good glug of olive oil, the juice of at least 1 lemon, and some spoons of tahini. Greek yoggut *could* be deployed here but is optional.
Serve with crusty bread or on the side with lamb. Yum.
