1 Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).
2 Wash and dry the aubergine and pierce it with a fork. Place it in an oven dish
lined with coarse salt and cook for approximately 45 min until the skin is soft
and the flesh tender. Allow to cool.
3 Cut the garlic in half and remove the shoot.
4 Cut the aubergine in half, scoop the flesh into the bowl with a spoon.
5 Add the other ingredients and pulse approximately 10 times to obtain a
smooth mixture.

slices of country loaf.
