  1. ROASTED AUBS

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

  2. TOASTY PEANUTS

    Place the peanuts in a nonstick pan or wok over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

  3. LEKKER LARB

    When the aubergine has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan or wok to a medium-high heat with a generous glug of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger, the grated garlic, and the spring onion whites for 1 minute until fragrant and turning golden, shifting frequently. Add the mince and fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned. Add ½ the Sweet Chilli Tamari, the juice of 1 lime wedge and the shredded cabbage. Fry for about 1-2 minutes until beginning to caramelise. On completion, taste to test and season. Remove from the heat and stir through ½ the chopped coriander and the roasted aubergine.

  4. FILL ‘ER UP

    Pile a spoonful of larb into each lettuce leaf and drizzle over the remaining Sweet Chilli Tamari. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts, spring onion greens, lime zest, and remaining coriander. Garnish with the radish slices. Serve with the remaining lime wedges. Forget the cutlery and feast!
