Aubergine Dip, The Cranks Bible and a Giveaway #70
The Cranks Bible: a timeless collection of vegetarian recipes by Nadine Abensur is one of my treasured cookery books. I bought it when it was first published in 2001 and have taken inspiration from it ever since. Despite its frequent use as a bed time read, there are many recipes I’ve barely looked at. The one for aubergine purée with cumin pitot is one such, or in my more prosaic terminology, aubergine dip.
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of The Cranks Bible, which had sadly gone out of print, a new paperback edition has just been published by Orion in association with Cranks. The recipes are exactly the same as the original except for one important addition – ta da – my recipe for cashew nut butter brownies. Yes, that’s right, I’m up there with Nadine Abensur, mine is the very first recipe in the book. How did it get there I hear you ask? After my amazing award of Best Food Blogger in the South West, I’m getting a bit more used to strutting my stuff. I won best recipe in a Cranks competition and this was the reward. Excitingly, I have three copies to give away to my readers. You’ll find details of how to enter at the bottom of the post.
The original book is a lovely large purple hardback, with beautiful photographs that make you want to dive right in. The new edition must be aimed at the more serious cook as there are no photographs. I like pictures in a book as it gives me an idea as to what I should be aiming at, but not having them in does make for a much lighter and more portable book. You could easily stow it away in your bag for a bit of food inspiration on the daily commute or long train journey – or is that just me? It’s decidedly cheaper too with an RRP of just £9.99. I approve of the retro cover and the featured vegetable must have been whispering aubergine dip to me. It has a new introduction from Nadine, celebrating the rise of the wholefoods that Cranks had pioneered way back in the 1960s. She also urges caution: demonising specific ingredients and food groups might be premature and detrimental in the long term. I have to agree with her, look at how the received wisdom on fat has changed over the last couple of decades. And the jury’s still out as to whether olive oil or rapeseed is better.
Nadine Abensur is passionate about good vegetarian food made from wholesome ingredients. If some of them can be home grown, so much the better. Inspired by an eclectic mix of cuisines, her recipes are interesting, healthy and most importantly, mouthwatering. They’re very much written with the home cook in mind and a number of tips are peppered throughout. I particularly like the way the book is organised; it has chapters on spring & summer vegetables and autumn & winter vegetables, but each of these are subdivided into recipes for specific items. My aubergine dip, for example, is in the Aubergine section; as well as having a number of recipes where the humble egg plant is the main ingredient, it cross-references other recipes in the book where aubergines are included.
Further chapters are organised in a similar way: beans & pulses, pasta & some alternatives, rice & some other grains, dressings, oils & vinegars, fruit & nuts, bread, biscuits & baking and much to my delight, chocolate & cream. I’m not going to tell you which is my favourite recipe (of the ones I’ve made), because one day I will blog my adaptation of it. But I’ve tried my hand at a fair few and there are even more that I’ve bookmarked. One such is chocolate and almond meringue, a heady affair of almond meringue layered with chocolate mousse and chantilly cream. Slightly healthier offerings include: Japanese noodle salad with Thai overtones, a quick aromatic laksa and pasta pouches with pumpkin and mango chutney. I could go on, but with 200 recipes to choose from, you’ll have to take my word that there’s something for everyone and for every occasion.
I’m by no means a fussy eater, but I’m a bit funny about aubergines. I think I ate a dodgy moussaka, at the tender age of eighteen, when I was still a meat eater and it rather put me off. I can’t avoid them for ever it seems; one turned up in my veg box recently, so as I cannot abide waste, I was forced into doing something with it. Time to turn to The Cranks Bible and see if I could find something to tempt me. The first recipe I saw was for an aubergine dip. Now I’m very familiar with baba ghanoush from my days in Egypt, but I tend to avoid it if I can. I adore tahini and hummus, but I’ll pass on the aubergines. However this recipe, despite its obvious Middle Eastern origins, did not include tahini. I thought I’d give it a go, with an odd tweak here and there – of course!
I served it with the suggested wholemeal pitta breads toasted with olive oil and cumin seeds. And do you know what? I really liked it. CT and I polished the whole lot off in a few short minutes. Could this aubergine dip be the perfect antidote to memories of a malevolent moussaka?
Aubergine Dip (vegan friendly)
Ingredients
- 1 large aubergine - cut into medium sized chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil + 2 tbsp good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot - chopped
- 2 cloves garlic - chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves - finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the aubergines for about 5 minutes over a moderate heat.
- Add the shallot and garlic and fry for a further 5 minutes or until the aubergines are golden and soft.
- Whiz in a blender or food processor along with the lemon juice and paprika until the mixture has turned into a chunky or smooth purée depending on preference (I used my ThermoCook).
- Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin oil whilst continuing to blend at a moderate speed - as if you were making mayonnaise.
- Spoon into a bowl and mix in the coriander.

31st January 2016 at 2:07 pmI love making shakshuka. It’s basically made from tomatoes, herbs and spices, and then you crack some eggs on top while it’s still cooking in a skillet and it looks lovely. Definitely recommend it!

Choclette
31st January 2016 at 5:31 pmHmmmm, I seem to be in a minority of one here CC.
Jane Willis
1st February 2016 at 6:41 amI wasn’t a fan of aubergine until last weekend when I went to the Waitrose Cookery School and realised I’d been preparing them all wrong – I’d always just charred the skin until it blistered, I didn’t realise you were supposed to blast the poor things until every smoke detector in the street goes off, by which time they are soft, sweet and smoky inside rather then bitter and slimy. I’m a convert!
Choclette
1st February 2016 at 9:33 amHaha Jane, glad it’s not just me. Sounds like I needed to do that course too – a long time ago!

Sue C
31st January 2016 at 4:55 pmAs a vegetarian it’s hard to pick my favourite recipe…I’m quite faddy and make something often for a while and then move on! I think Mexican is my favourite at the moment and I make burritos with wraps, Mexican rice, refried beans, salsa, corn, avocado, soured cream and grated cheese! Yummy!
Choclette
31st January 2016 at 5:30 pmStop Sue, you’re making me feel incredibly hungry. I love Mexican food too, but I’m also like you and do something a lot, then move on.

31st January 2016 at 5:08 pmI love experimenting with veggie dishes from around the world – my current favourite is a delicately spiced persian rice and lentil dish …mmmm…
LydiaF1963
31st January 2016 at 5:22 pmI will eat just about anything with eggplant. One of my favorites is eggplant mirza from a little Persian restaurant in my home town.
Choclette
31st January 2016 at 5:28 pmWell I know it’s quite a popular vegetable but this is one of the first dishes I’ve actually liked. Thanks for the tip Lydia, I’ll have a look at mirza and see what what I think.

Phil in the Kitchen
1st February 2016 at 12:13 amLove that dip. The Cranks Bible is one of those books that I feel sure I had once upon a time but I can’t find at the moment – there are too many of those. Much as I love an aubergine dip, I must admit that I’m a bit funny about aubergines too due to some slightly odd dishes back in the distant past.
Choclette
1st February 2016 at 9:36 amIs this because you have an attic full of books Phil, which are impossible to access? It is one of those books that somehow seem very familiar. Glad to hear it’s not just me whose a bit iffy about aubergines.
Jane Willis
1st February 2016 at 6:38 amI couldn’t pin it down to one favourite, but a current craze is for chickpea and butternut squash curry.

Henk Kooiman
1st February 2016 at 3:29 pmOnce a year I make ‘baba ganoush’. I eat some of it, enjoy it and give away the rest, which is most, of it. Another once-in-a-year-recipe is also an aubergine dip. A Russian recipe with hard boiled eggs as one of the main ingredients.
Choclette
1st February 2016 at 9:23 pmNo thanks to baba ganoush Henk, but the Russian recipe sounds interesting.
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
1st February 2016 at 5:36 pmCongrats on getting your recipe featured! My favourite vegetarian dish is macaroni cheese with garlic bread 😉

Choclette
3rd February 2016 at 9:12 pmOoh now I’ve realised I can enjoy aubergine, I might try your dip Bev, it sounds good.
Heather Haigh
3rd February 2016 at 6:59 pmIt may be dated but I love a good old nut roast – brazil nut and mushroom is my favourite variety.
Choclette
3rd February 2016 at 9:11 pmOh yes, I adore a good nut roast and brazil nut and mushrooms sounds mighty fine Heather. I made a lentil and brazil nut roast last year which was pretty good too 🙂
Judith Allen
3rd February 2016 at 10:05 pmI love hummus – supermarket cheapest to homemade, not met one I don’t like. Yummy with breadsticks and celery, and makes the best sandwich on wholemeal with grated carrot.
Choclette

I am having trouble thinking of my favourite veggie dish as there is lots to choose from but I am partial to a dhal. Comfort food at its spicy best. I must make one, maybe tomorrow.
Choclette
6th February 2016 at 8:36 amThanks so much Kath. I’m doing my best to strut my stuff, but it doesn’t come easy 😉 Dhal is probably what I would have said too – perfect comfort food.

I just recently found your blog & am really enjoying it. I have spent time in Cornwall, including most of one winter a number of years ago, way back when the first Poldark series was on tv. I hope to be able to get back to visit my friend Whitemoor again.
Choclette
26th February 2016 at 4:46 pmOoh that was a long time ago Jackie. Not sure winter is the best time to spend in Cornwall so I hope you’ve managed to get some good weather whilst you were here. This winter has been terrible, it’s done nothing but rain. Your lasagna sounds delicious – cheese, cheese and more cheese sounds good to me.

27th February 2016 at 2:11 pmI used to love the restaurant ‘Cranks’ in the late ’80s. I managed to buy a copy of the Crank’s recipe shop in a Charity Shop a couple of years ago and have enjoyed making many of the recipes. Their wholemeal carrot cake is to die for!!! xxx

27th February 2016 at 11:29 pmI’m a GF *almost* vegan. I can’t bake without butter!
my favourite recipe, is nut roast. I put a grated apple through it to help bind it and give it moisture as it can dry out. I also add grated carrot and a little cumin.
I serve it with roasted kale and red onion and beetroot compote.
Thank you for this, I’ve lost my original Cranks book, I used to like making their Devon applecake, it’s lovely! Incidentally, when making that recipe (which I had to google thanks to losing the book) I now add a teaspoon of finely grated jaffa orange rind and substitute all flours for GF flour.
Choclette
28th February 2016 at 10:15 amGlad you’re in the butter for baking camp, it’s a hard one to beat. I do use coconut oil if I’m making something vegan and I’m quite impressed with it. Your nut roast sounds delicious, I do like a good nut roast and your apple addition sounds like a good one. Good luck.
