ستيك بالفستق الحلبي وتوابل الدقة مع البابا غنّوج والبطاطا المهروسة
Arabic 30 Mins Prep · 50 Mins Cook
- To make the baba ganoush, turn on a gas burner to medium-high. Place the aubergines directly over the flame. Using a pair of tongs, turn them every 5 minutes or so until tender and the skin is charred and crispy on all sides, approx. 20 minutes. If you don’t have a gas burner, you can do this over hot coals.
- Remove the aubergines from the flame and place in a large colander over a bowl. Allow them to sit and drain for a few minutes until thoroughly cooled and all excess water has drained.
- Meanwhile, peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a large pot of generously salted water and place the pot over a high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for approx. 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft. Drain and return to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes and mix in the butter, milk and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set aside and keep warm.
- Crush the garlic. Juice the lemon.
- Once the aubergines are cool enough to touch, peel off the charred skin and discard. Place the flesh in a medium-sized bowl and mash with a fork. Add the tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, yoghurt, remaining salt, sumac and chilli flakes. Mix well to combine. Stir through the mashed potatoes. Set aside and keep warm.
- To make the crust, combine the dukkah and pistachios in a bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over a high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook each fillet for 5 minutes on either side, or until caramelised and medium rare. Transfer to serving plates. Evenly brush the sides of the fillet with the mustard and roll in the pistachio-dukkah mixture, pressing down fi rmly to secure the crust.
- Serve the fillet steaks with the baba ganoush mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, a drizzle of olive oil and an extra sprinkling of dukkah.
