Directions
Ingredients
20 baby aubergines
Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp runny honey
Cape Herb & Spice Moroccan Spice
Cape Herb & Spice Atlantic Sea Salt
Pomegranate rubies
Almond slivers, toasted golden in a dry pan
Mint leaves
2 Tbs smooth peanut butter
Juice of one lime
Directions
Slice the aubergines in half and use a small sharp knife to score a diamond pattern in the flesh.
Place aubergines cut side up on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush each aubergine generously with olive oil, sprinkle with Moroccan Spice and give them a light grinding of sea salt.
Drizzle with honey. Roast aubergines in a preheated 180 degree Celsius oven until they are soft– it takes about thirty minutes, but start checking them after twenty.
Plate aubergines up on a large platter along with plenty of toasted almonds, loads of pomegranate rubies and torn mint leaves.
Make a simple nut butter dressing by combining the peanut butter with the juice of one lime.
Stir in 1 tablespoon boiling water at a time until it has the consistency of a pourable dressing. Spoon over the aubergines and tuck in.
