Directions
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Tumble the aubergine and onion into a large baking dish or roasting tray and toss generously with the oil and a good pinch of salt and roast for 25-30 mins until they start to get some colour.
Once the aubergine and onions have started to caramelise, remove the tray from the oven and pour in the plum tomatoes. Mash them with a fork or potato masher (keeping clear not to mash the aubergine!). Add the paprika, drained beans and a good pinch of salt and stir to combine.
Bake for 20 minutes or so until bubbling and the sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, make the tahini drizzle by mixing together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 1 tbsp of warm water and a pinch of salt and mix well until you reach a drizzle-able consistency, similar to single cream. Add more water to loosen, if needed.
When ready to serve, drizzle the tahini over the traybake and scatter over the fresh herbs. Finish with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. Serve with grain of choice or flatbreads to mop up the juices.
