Out of all the recipes I cook, or should I say, attempt to cook, this is by far one of my favourites. It’s the only meal I make that I’ll clear my plate on and monkeychops gets no extras, much to his disappointment. Like most of the meals I make this is really easy.
- 2 Aubergines
- 1tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1tbsp of fresh shredded mint
- Seeds from a pomegrante
(not essential, but worth the effort as they give a nice texture and pop in your mouth, although my kitchen units and tiles never thank me for opening a pomegrante, just think reservoir dogs)!
Tahini dressing
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1tbsp Tahini
- 125ml of Natural or plain soya yogurt
- 1 tbsp Honey
- Pinch of cumin
- Pinch of cayenne
- Juice of a lemon
- S&P
Construction: Slice your aubergines into discs and griddle or fry in a pan until blackened and gooey. Best make sure you stick on the fan or have a tea towel ready to waft under the smoke detector! Combine the tahini dressing ingredients in a blender and whizz until it thickens up and looks nice and creamy, you might need to add a little water in. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put your cooked aubergines on a plate, season and sprinkle over the red wine vinegar. Drizzle over the tahini dressing, pomegranate seeds and shredded mint and you are done. Serve with some warmed flat breads and salad.
