Eggplant and Yoghurt Dip

Serves 8 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 40 minutes   Rated:

The great thing about this dip is that you can create it way in advance, then just warm it slightly and finish off before serving. In fact it will improve in flavour with a bit of time (not thyme) on its side. So it is perfect for entertaining with that in mind.

We finished it off with plenty of dry roasted walnut pieces, a good drizzle of a great EVOO and served it with a Pizza Bianca made from our favourite EVOO Fridge Dough. If you haven't made that one yet, this is a good opportunity to give it a whirl. We added chilli flakes and salt and EVOO, cooked and cut it into serving wedges. DONE!
