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.

In a salad bowl, combine the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, 5ml of sweetener, and seasoning. Add the drained Chickpeas, the diced tomato, and ½ the chopped chives. Toss to combine and set aside in the fridge. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the remaining chives and season.
CHERMOULA LENTILS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced Onions and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the chermoula paste, the tomato paste, and the grated garlic. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in 100ml of water and the drained lentils. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener, and season.
