Introduction

This is triumph! Not only does it look amazing, it tastes twice as good. The miso paste not only gives flavour but adds a golden glaze to the aubergine, too.

Ingredients

2 heaped tbspwhite miso paste
3 tbspsweet chilli sauce
1 tspgrated fresh root ginger
2aubergines
2 tbspsunflower oil
1 bunch ofspring onions, trimmed and sliced
1red pepper, deseeded and sliced into julienne strips
2carrots, sliced into julienne strips
1garlic clove, finely grated
250g (9oz)cooked Puy lentils
2 tbspsoy sauce
Small bunch ofcoriander, leaves roughly chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.

Mix the miso paste, 2 tablespoons of the sweet chilli sauce, 2 tablespoons of water and the fresh root ginger together in a small bowl.

Slice the aubergine in half lengthways and score the flesh into diagonal cubes, cutting down to the skin but not through it. Brush the miso mixture over the surface of the aubergine and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the aubergine in a roasting tin so they fit snugly and add 3 tablespoons of water to the tin. Cover the tin with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 10–15 minutes, until the aubergines are soft and golden brown.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the spring onions, pepper and carrots and fry for 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds. Add the Puy lentils, soy sauce, coriander and the remaining sweet chilli sauce. Season well.

Spoon the lentils and vegetables on to a platter and arrange the aubergine on top. Serve half an aubergine per person.

Mary’s Tips: Vegetables can all be prepared ahead and ready to go but best made and served. Not suitable for freezing.
