Ingredients

3 aubergines, quartered lengthways
1 x 700g Jar of Bold Bean Co Queen Carlin Peas (or 2 x 400g tins of carlin peas), drained and rinsed

For the Yoghurt

250g greek yogurt (coconut yoghurt works well for a vegan belter)
Juice of ½ lemon
1 bulb of garlic

For the Glaze

2 tbsp Honey
½ tsp Ground Coriander
½ tsp ground cumin

For the chimichurri (or shop bought works just as well)

20g flatleaf parsley, stalks removed and leaves finely chopped
20g fresh coriander, leaves finely chopped
10g fresh mint, leaves finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 long red chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped, or ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
A pinch of flaky sea salt
120ml extra virgin olive oil
A handful each of fresh mint and coriander leaves, to garnish (optional)

Serving suggestions

Flatbreads
Cous cous or bulgur wheat for something heartier

Directions

Heat the oven to 180C.
Put the aubergine on a roasting tray with just a sprinkle of salt. Wrap the bulb of garlic in tin foil and put on the tray with the aubergine. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the aubergine is soft and almost falling apart.
Tumble the carlin peas onto a baking tray in a single layer and pat dry with a clean tea towel. Toss with olive oil a pinch of salt and roast for 25-30 minutes or until super crispy.
To make the chimichurri, combine the herbs, chilli, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar and olive oil in a bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside.
For the glaze: in a small bowl, mix the cumin, coriander and honey. Add a splash of oil to loosen if necessary. Once the aubergine is out of the oven and has cooled slightly, smother the aubergine in this glaze.
Squeeze the soft roasted garlic into a bowl with the greek yoghurt and lemon juice. Season to taste and set aside in the fridge. You could blitz this in a blender if the garlic is too chunky for your liking.
Using the back of a spoon, spread the garlicky yogurt to cover the base of a serving platter. Put the aubergine on top, sprinkle over the crispy peas and drizzle over the chimichurri. Garnish with mint and coriander leaves.
