PEPPER FLATBREADS WITH BRINJAL DIP
SERVES 4
4 large brinjals
1 garlic bulb
45 ml (3 T) olive oil
60 ml (¼ c) full-cream plain yoghurt juice of 1 lemon
10 g fresh coriander, finely chopped salt and pepper
500 ml (2 c) cake flour
5 ml (1 t) table salt
15 ml (1 T) freshly ground pepper 60 ml (¼ c) olive oil
160 ml (²⁄₃ c) ice water extra olive oil for drizzling
1 red onion, sliced
2 rounds feta cheese, diced
60 ml (¼ c) full-cream plain yoghurt extra olive oil and fresh coriander
Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Grease with nonstick spray.
1 Brinjal dip Prick the brinjals and microwave for 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a roasting pan. Microwave the garlic for 3-5 minutes and add to the roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over and roast for 20 minutes. Cool the brinjals slightly, then remove the skin.
2 Squeeze the garlic cloves to remove the purée, add to the brinjal flesh and mash. Mix in the remaining ingredients.
3 Flatbreads Blitz the ingredients except the extra oil in a food processor until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl (add a little extra flour if needed). Knead gently and roll into 2 flatbreads.
4 Transfer to the baking sheet, drizzle the extra oil over and bake for 10-15 minutes.
5 To serve Spread dip on the breads and put the onion and cheese on top. Serve with the yoghurt, extra olive oil and fresh coriander.
