1

Using a pair of tongs, place each aubergine directly over a high flame. Turn every 5 minutes until the entire surface is charred. Alternatively, preheat the oven at 250°C, gas mark 9. Prick the aubergines all over with a fork, then place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for approx. 40 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, finely chop the tomatoes, capsicum and herbs. Finely grate the garlic.

3

Once the aubergines are completely soft, remove and discard the charred skin. Place the aubergines in a large mixing bowl and roughly mash the flesh. Add the tomato, capsicum, garlic and herbs and combine. Set aside.

4

To make the salad dressing, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini paste and vinegar in a small mixing bowl. Season with the salt, pepper and chilli powder. Mix the ingredients until fully combined. Dilute with water, if necessary.

5

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, toss all the ingredients until all the vegetables are coated with the dressing. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

6

Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge to serve later.
