Directions

1

Heat the oven to 180C.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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.
