Ingredients

  • 3 large (about 1kg) aubergines
  • About 100ml olive oil
  • For the chermoula
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 11/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • Good pinch of saffron strands
  • 2 tsp harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 20g fresh coriander leaves, plus extra to garnish
  • 20g fresh mint leaves
  • 120ml extra-virgin olive oil

Method: How to make chargrilled aubergines

1. Cut the aubergines lengthways into 1cm-thick slices. Sprinkle with salt, layer in a colander and set aside to drain for 40 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, make the chermoula. Put the garlic, spices, harissa, lemon juice, herbs and 4 tablespoons of oil into a processor with a pinch of salt. Blend to a paste and stir in enough of the remaining oil to make a sauce.

3. Preheat the oven to 110°C/fan90°C/gas 1/4. Pat the aubergines dry with kitchen paper. In batches, brush with oil and barbecue over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes each side, until golden. Keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining slices.

4. Place the aubergine slices on a serving dish, drizzle with the chermoula and sprinkle with the coriander leaves to garnish.
