AMAZING AUBS
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the Aubergine and Butternut pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
FLAVOURFUL Chickpeas
Coat the drained Chickpeas in oil, ⅓ of the Spice Mix, and seasoning. Spread out in a single layer on a second roasting tray and set aside. When the roast has 10 minutes to go, add the chickpea tray to the hot oven for the remaining time.
Piquanté Peppers
Place a deep pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the drained Piquanté Peppers, the grated garlic, and the remaining Spice Mix, and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Mix through the Cooked Chopped Tomato and 200ml of water. Remove from the heat and set aside.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BASE
When the Aubergine has finished roasting, add it to the pan with the tomato base. Lightly mash with a fork or potato masher. Return to medium heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5-6 minutes. Mix through the roasted Butternut, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Cover and set aside.
BUTTERED BAGUETTE ROUNDS
Spread butter (optional) or oil over the baguette rounds. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the baguette rounds until golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Alternatively, place the buttered baguette rounds in a single layer on a baking tray, sprinkle with water, and bake in the hot oven until toasted, 3-5 minutes.
LOOK, IT’S ZAALOUK!
Plate up the chunky zaalouk. Scatter over the crispy Chickpeas. Garnish with the chopped coriander and drizzle with olive oil. Side with the toasted baguette rounds for dunking. Well done, Chef!
