Ingredients

  • 3 Essential Aubergines, cut into 2cm-thick rounds 
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 4 vegan flatbreads or pitta breads 
  • 200g tub houmous
  • 4 tbsp dairy-free yogurt alternative
  • ¼ x 25g pack coriander, leaves picked 

Pickled shallots

  • 3 tbsp Aspall Organic Raw Apple Cyder Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 shallots, thinly sliced

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Brush the aubergine rounds with the oil on both sides, season with salt and spread in an even layer over the lined tray. Roast for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the pickled shallots by stirring the vinegar, 1 tbsp maple syrup and salt together in a bowl. Add the sliced shallots; set aside until ready to serve. 

  2. In a bowl, mix the harissa with the 2 tbsp maple syrup and the lemon juice. Brush over both sides of the aubergine rounds and roast for another 20 minutes, turning halfway. Add the flatbreads or pitta to the oven for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time. 

  3. To serve, spread each flatbread or pitta with some houmous, then top with the aubergine, dollops of yogurt alternative and some of the pickled shallots. Drizzle over a little of the pickling liquor and scatter with coriander leaves. 

Cook’s tip

Get pickling: Quick pickles add a lovely zing to all kinds of dishes, and take minutes to prepare. Use the formula in this recipe for shallots, onions or cucumber, then scatter over salads, curries, soups or grain bowls.
