INGREDIENTS
For the Aubergine
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tbsp Honey
- ½ tsp – 1 tsp Jars of Goodness Espresso Harissa (start with less depending on spice)
- Roasted Peanuts for garnish
- Herbs such as Mint and Coriander for garnish (or any other herbs of your liking)

- 2 tbsp Greek Yogurt
- 1 tsp Jars of Goodness Espresso Harissa
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Honey
- ¾ tsp minced garlic
- Pinch of Salt
METHOD
- Take 2 medium sized aubergines and slit them lengthwise. Score the inside of the aubergine in a criss cross way taking care not to pierce the skin through. Brush a little oil onto the aubergine
- In a pan over high heat, add some neutral oil and cook flesh side down
- Cook for a few minutes until the skin turns brown and then aubergine is soft. When ready, turn the aubergine over and cook skin side down for about 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through
- In the meantime mix the honey, espresso harissa and a little bit of oil to brush onto the aubergine.
- Prepare a baking tray with foil and remove the aubergine and place on foil, skin side down
- Brush on the honey, harissa mix onto the aubergine and place it under the broiler for about 4 minutes
- Now prepare the harissa sauce by mixing all the ingredients. Adjust the amount of espresso harissa for an extra kick
- Once the harissa mix is bubbling, remove from oven and spread harissa sauce on top
- Garnish with peanuts and herbs and enjoy!
