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).
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.
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).

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.
