  1. ROAST AUBERGINE

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread out the aubergine chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the Moroccan rub (to taste) and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until softened, shifting halfway.

  2. CARAMELISATION STATION

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 7-9 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) to caramelise it further. Remove from the pan on completion and cover to keep warm.

  3. TOSS & LOOSEN

    In a bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, ½ the chopped dill, the quartered tomatoes and the halved olives with a drizzle of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Toss to combine and season to taste. In a small bowl, add the tzatziki and loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste.

  4. FLATBREAD TIME

    Wipe down the pan and return it to a medium-high heat. When hot, dry toast the flatbread on each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden and toasted. When done, cut the flatbread in half with a knife on each half and open a pocket like a pita bread.

  5. GOLDEN HALLOUMI

    When the aubergines have 5 minutes remaining, drizzle the halloumi slices with oil and sprinkle over the remaining Moroccan rub. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Leave to drain on some paper towel (and try not to eat it all before serving!).

  6. STUNNING!

    Plate up your toasted flatbread and fill with the roasted aubergine, caramelised onions, spiced halloumi and a few spoonfuls of the Greek salad. Drizzle over the tzatziki and serve the remaining salad on the side. Garnish with the remaining dill and a lemon wedge. Yummy!
