  1. ROAST THE AUBERGINE

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Score the flesh side of the aubergine halves with a knife in a cross-hatch pattern without piercing all the way down to the skin. Spread the aubergine halves cut-side up on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until softened, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. PREP THE EXTRAS

    In a salad bowl, combine the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, 5ml of sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the drained chickpeas, the diced tomato, ½ the chopped chives, and set aside in the fridge. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the remaining chives and season.

  3. FRY THE MINCE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  4. CHERMOULA TIME

    Add the diced onions to the pan with the mince. Fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the chermoula paste, the tomato paste, and the grated garlic. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in 100ml of water and simmer until reduced and thickening, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.

  5. WHAT A FEAST!

    Plate the roasted aubergine flesh-side up. Top with the chermoula mince and dollop over the yoghurt. Side with the chickpea salad and sprinkle over the chopped dates.
