فتّة الباذنجان المحروق
Arabic 30 Mins Prep · 60 Mins Cook
- Soak the chickpeas overnight. Place the soaked chickpeas, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Simmer gently until the chickpeas have softened, approx. 40 minutes. Drain and discard the spices.
- Place the aubergines over a gas flame or under the grill of the oven and slowly char them, turning often until they are burnt and very soft. Place them in a bowl, cover with cling fi lm and set aside for 5 minutes. Carefully peel off the aubergines burnt skin to reveal the soft flesh. Run a knife down the aubergine to cut it into four long slices. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan or deep fryer.
- Slice the bread (or wraps) into triangles and fry in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Place half the chickpeas in a blender along with the tahini, juice of 1 lemon, garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of salt and blitz until smooth. Add a little water if it is too thick.
- Toast the nuts in a dry pan over a medium heat until golden and fragrant.
- When ready to serve, break the crispy bread into a shallow serving dish. Spread the smooth chickpea mixture on top and top with the yoghurt, whole chickpeas, aubergine, parsley, nuts and drizzle with the olive oil.
