Sticky Glazed Aubergine, Garlicky Yoghurt + Crispy Carlin Peas

Sticky sweet roasted aubergine has to be one of the greatest things. Pair that with some cooling, creamy yogurt, and sweet yet nutty carlin peas (which crispy up SUPER well when roasted), and you've got a simple yet very delicious sharing platter.

Directions

1

Heat the oven to 180C.

2

Put the sliced aubergines onto a roasting tray and toss well with 3 tbsp olive oil and a sprinkle of oil. Wrap the bulb of garlic in tin foil and put onto the tray with the aubergine. Roast for 30-35 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. Drizzle with about 1tbsp oil and a pinch of salt, toss to coat, and roast for 25-30 minutes until super crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.

4

To make the chimichurri, combine the herbs, chilli, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil and a pinch of salt 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 it’s a little thick. Once the aubergine is out of the oven and has cooled slightly, smother the aubergine in this glaze.

6

For the yogurt: put the yogurt and lemon juice into a small bowl and squeeze in the soft roasted garlic. Add a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper and mix well to combine. 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.
