  1. Take the pastry out of the fridge 5 minutes before you want to use it to make it easier to unroll.

    Adjust the amount of tahini to suit your taste (or leave it out if you prefer).

  2. Make the baba ghanoush without the herbs up to 24 hours in advance. Whizz in the herbs using a food processor just before serving, so they keep their vibrant colour. The pastry cases can be made up to 12 hours ahead. Leave to cool, then store in a sealed container (or well wrapped in foil and cling film) until ready to use. Briefly refresh the pastry cases in a warm oven if they feel soft.

  3. Baba ghanoush is a smoky aubergine dip popular throughout the Middle East.
