Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 180℃. Trim leaves and roots off the beetroot and wash thoroughly. Wrap the beetroot in foil and place it on a baking tray. Cut the stalk off the eggplant and halve it lengthways. Rub the cut sides with olive oil and place the eggplant cut side down on a small sheet of baking paper on the same baking tray. Also place the garlic clove on the tray, drizzled with a dash of oil.
- Bake the beetroot, eggplant and garlic until soft. The eggplant will take around 40-45 minutes. When it is done, take it out and set aside to cool on the baking tray. The beetroot will take around 60-70 minutes, depending on size.
- Once the beetroot is finished cooking, let it cool a little before unwrapping. Remove the skin from the beetroot and the eggplant.
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Place the dip in the fridge for a few hours to chill before serving.
