Background
You can serve this delicious, tomato roasted baby aubergine with broad beans as a vegan main dish with rice, couscous or flatbread. Alternatively, serve it on the side of grilled chicken or lamb. Β You can use passata instead of tomato purΓ©e (about 300 ml).
Ingredients
- 6 baby aubergine
- 1 red onion
- 3 Tbsp tomato purΓ©e
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Β½ lemon, juiced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 small preserved lemon, finely chopped ( 1 tsp grated lemon zest)
- Chili flakes
- 8 baby tomatoes on the vine
- 1 cup broad beans
- Salt and pepper
- Parsley or coriander leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180Β°C.
- Cut the onion into wedges, the aubergines into half. Put them in a baking tray.
- Mix the tomato purΓ©e with the oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin seeds and marjoram. Add some water.
- Pour this over the vegetables, making sure they are well coated. Scatter the preserved lemon around them.
- Season with salt, chilli flakes and ground pepper, then cover the dish with foil.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil. Add more water if needed and check the vegetables. If they are tender, scatter the broad beans around them and bake for another 5 minutes, uncovered. If they are not cooked through, then bake a bit longer, but this time uncovered, and add the broad beans when they've become tender.
- Serve with chopped herbs scattered on top.
