As you may have guessed I’m slightly obsessed with aubergine at the moment and can’t stop cooking with it! This is a super hearty vegan warm salad that is packed full of goodness and will leave you feeling thoroughly satisfied. This rose Harissa from @belazu_co is a must have store cupboard ingredient, with so many uses and the @merchantgourmet grain pouches are worth having too.
INGREDIENTS
2 aubergine
4 teaspoons of rose Harissa - @belazu_co
1 onion
3 cloves garlic - crushed
1 pouch cooked freekeh - @merchantgourmet
150-200g spinach
10 cherry tomatoes - chopped
Option edible flowers!
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
Cut the aubergine lengthways in half. With a sharp knife score diagonal criss crosses into the flesh. Smear a teaspoon of rose Harissa onto each half. Drizzle with olive oil and season. Roast for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. ⠀
Sauté the onion until soft, add the garlic for 2 minutes. Now add the tomatoes for another 2 minutes. Pour in the cooked freekeh and warm through, then wilt in the spinach. Season and turn off the heat.
