Marvellous Miso, Mustard & Sesame Aubergines

As if it needed to be proved here is a superb and simple example of a vegetable that’s just great on the grill. Aubergine is in my opinion vastly underrated; the Miso and sesame add a wonderfully oriental flavour, balanced by the Dijon and honey!

    What you need

    • Ripe aubergines x 2
    • 1 tbsp Miso paste
    • 1 tbsp honey – runny

    What you do

    1

    Mix Miso paste, honey, mustard, ginger, garlic, soy, vinegar & ½ sesame seeds.

    Cut aubergines length-wise then cross-cut flesh; brush scored side with ½ Miso mix.

    Place on medium grill, cut face-down to sear then turn and baste with remaining Miso mix, turn frequently until charred all over, about 15 minutes.

    Set aside to cool, round 5-10 minutes.
