Instructions

Light the gas on 2 rings, then lay the aubergines directly on them, 2 to a ring. In 30 secs they will have blackened on one side, so use tongs to turn them until they are well charred on all sides. Alternatively, cook the aubergines under the grill or on the barbecue, turning them until they are blackened all over.

Once done, put the aubergines in a plastic bag. When cool enough to handle, strip away the blackened skin and put the flesh (which should be cooked and soft) in a colander to drain for 30 mins.

Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Dipping Sauce. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. One wine you could try is Sophora Sparkling rosé. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
