…it stands for Better Do Some Mezze. Here’s how to make Baba Ganoush.
Oddbox knows food waste isn’t sexy. We decided the best way to get people cooking the UK’s most wasted veg is by grabbing their attention. Sex sells. Now it cooks too.
Substitute:
- No lemon? Use lime instead.
- No garlic? Try with 1 tsp of garlic powder instead.
- No parsley? Use any other fresh herbs you have on hand.
- No pitta bread? Regular toasted sourdough bread or any other bread would work too! Otherwise, serve with crudites from your box; try with carrots, celery and peppers cut in batons.

RECIPE:
- Preheat the oven to 180 C/16 fan/4 gas mark. Measure your ingredients.
- Cut the aubergine skin-on, into 1 cm thick slices.
- Place the aubergine slices into one layer on a baking tray. Drizzle with the olive oil, and season with the chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
