Wash the aubergines, but leave them whole. Place them directly over the fire, turning as soon as the skin is charred. Once they are completely charred on the outside – in about 5 minutes – close them in a plastic bag for 5-10min, so that its own steam softens the skin. In this quick process, the aubergine absorbs a smoky flavour and doesn`t have time to darken. Let cool a bit until you can handle it. Slice into the aubergine and scrape the flesh off the skin, into a bowl. Mix it well with the remaining ingredients and adjust the seasoning to taste – if you like, you can mix it in a food processor to get rid of the seeds. Serve with pita bread or as a spread for sandwiches.
