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.
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.
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.
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.
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!).
STUNNING!
