Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven (180 degrees).
Poke the aubergine several times with a knife or fork so it can cook faster and its water water will evaporate
- 2
Place the aubergine in the oven for almost 40 minutes until the skin in semi-burnt and the inside is soft
- 3
In the meantime, mix the sauce ingredients (lemon juice, tahini, yogurt, salt, cumin)
- 4
When the aubergine in cooked, place it on a chopping board, cut in the middle and scoop out the flesh
- 5
Chop the flesh roughly with a big knife. Squeeze or pat dry with a kitchen roll.
You can also use a blender for a smooth texture but I prefer to do it this way.
- 6
Mix the flesh with the sauce that you prepared and that’s it!
- 7
Add a generous amount of olive oil on top and sprinkle some sumac, mint...
- 8
If you have a gas stove I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you roast the aubergine on direct fire like in the picture. The smell and the smokey taste are just like heaven!

Courgette Patties with Tzaziki Dip Courgette Patties with Tzaziki Dip
Hello everyone, The other day I was chatting with a really sweet new blogger friend, in regards to recipes with Courgettes/Zucchinis. She mentioned that her garden is filled with Courgettes, and besides soups she really didn’t know what else to do with them. So, because I know she is a very busy bee, I am posting another recipe that I think she will enjoy, as I hope you will too. 🙂This appetizer goes great with the famous Tzaziki Dip, which I think or I am sure most know of, so to accompany this absolutely delicious Courgette dish, I made the traditional Tzatziki dip. This dip recipe varies from region to region in Greece, others add dill, other add capers, personally the taste is the same as long as there is cucumber, olive oil, and garlic it’s Tzaziki.The drinks that usually accompany these types of appetizers is Ouzo or Tsipouro, but again it could be beer, (I don’t drink Ouzo or Tsipouro…I am more of a wine person 🙂 ) it all comes down to what you enjoy drinking. 🙂
