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. Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated. Set aside for step 4.
COOK THE QUINOA
Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of water and stir through the stock. Place over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer uncovered. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during the cooking process. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Cover with a lid and allow to stand off the heat for 5 minutes.
SEEDS, PESTO & TOMATOES
Place the seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. Combine the pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil. Add warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency and set aside for serving. Place the tahini in a bowl, add the white wine vinegar to taste, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Place the tomato rounds in a bowl. Toss through ½ of the tahini dressing and set aside.
TIME FOR THE KALE
When the aubergine is halfway, give it a shift and scatter over the kale. Return to the oven for the remaining cooking time until the kale is crispy and the aubergine is soft. On completion, drizzle over the remaining tahini dressing and toss to coat.
SEARED STEAK
Pat the steak dry with paper towel. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the steak for 8-10 minutes, shifting and turning until cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) During the final 1-2 minutes, add ¾ of the oregano leaves and baste with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Season the slices.
