HERBANO GRILLED AUBERGINE RECIPE
How to create a delicious dish with grilled Aubergine? Here it is! This recipe with tahini and couscous is perfect for spring- and summertime, and is full of flavour. Suited for vegans, but also vegetarian if you replace the tahini with ricotta cheese. Both are excellent and will put a smile on your face. Enjoy!

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tbsp JARA Salsa Picante
  • 1 aubergine
  • 2 tbsp tahini (or ricotta cheese)
  • 100 gr couscous (or tabbouleh)
  • 100 gr water
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 garlic glove
  • 1/2 lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • edible flowers (not mandatory)

KITCHEN TOOLS:

  • Cooking pan
  • Oven
  • Bowl

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Slice the aubergine in half and cut a grid on the inside to make sure the aubergine cooks equally, and marinate with a thin layer of JARA Salsa Picante. Place them in the oven, inside upwards, at 180C for about 30 minutes.


- In the meantime chop the onion, the garlic clove and the parsley for your couscous (or tabbouleh) and put aside.

- Boil the water, add the oil and salt to the water so the couscous is nice and flavored already. After adding the couscous you put a lid on the pan and let it boil for 3-4 mins. Switch off the fire, let the couscous cool down and mix with the onion mix that you chopped before.

- Mix the tahini with the lemon juice with a fork until it makes a paste and then add some more water and continue mixing, it will become a wonderful sauce.

- For plating put a nice portion of tahini sauce on the bottom, add the roasted marinated aubergine and then finish with the couscous, some extra dots of JARA Salsa Picante and some edible flower.
