Spicy Chermoula Roasted Aubergine
with Harissa & Roasted Garlic Yoghurt
These roast aubergine wedges are the perfect starter or sharing plate. Roasting aubergine makes the flesh soft and the skin crispy to bite through. Harissa & roasted garlic yoghurt offers a spicy balance to the sweetness of the aubergine. Finish everything off with a scattering of spring onion, and you'll have made a dish you'll be coming back to again and again.
