Chop off both ends of an aubergine.

Rinse and wrap well in a piece of tinfoil.

Place in an oven proof dish.


Bake on 200 for 1 1/2 hours.

Whilst aubergine is baking, fry a batch of onions (I like to do some red and some regular).

Once the aubergine is finished cooking, remove from oven and unwrap on to a board or plate.

Using a spoon and a fork, open the aubergine.

Scoop out the inside of the aubergine using a spoon and put into a bowl.

You should be left with the skin of the aubergine (dont worry if some got mixed in with the flesh).

Mash the aubergine in the bowl with a fork. (If you like it very fine, moulee with a blender).

Add the fried onions to the aubergine and season with either some fresh minced garlic or garlic powder and salt (not too much!).


Mix well. Refrigerate in an air tight container. Serve room temperature.

Et Voila!
