Ingredients

3 Small aubergines

2 1/2 tbsp Harissa paste

2 tbsp Maple syrup

1 tbsp Lemon juice

1/2 tbsp Olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

4 tbsp Pomegranate seeds

Small handful of mint or coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Method

Halve the aubergines lengthways and score the flesh with a small sharp knife in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin. In a small bowl, mix together the harissa, maple syrup and lemon juice.

Brush the skin side of the aubergines with the olive oil, then brush the flesh with half the harissa mixture. Barbecue skin-side down over a medium heat for 8-10 mins, until the skin is charred and the flesh is tender.

Brush the flesh side with the remaining harissa, then turn and barbecue flesh-side down for 5 mins, until browned. Transfer to a serving board or plate, using a palette knife or thin-edged spatula if the aubergine is sticking to the bars. Sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds and herbs, drizzle with extra oil and serve.
