directions

  • First make the Aubergine cream by cutting the Aubergines in half lengthwise, score the flesh with several deep etches, then sprinkle generously with salt and set aside for 1/2 an hour, Wipe off the salt, place in a baking dish, pour over the olive oil and bake in a hot oven till thoroughly soft. You should be able to crush the flesh with a fork.
  • Scrape the Aubergine flesh from the skin and mash with the yoghurt and enough olive oil to make a paste that is thick enough to trickle.Season with salt and pepper and add the chopped mint.
  • Meanwhile put the vegetables in a roasting tin or baking dish, toss with olive il and a little salt and roast on high for a good 45 mins to an hour till tender. Towards the end of the cooking time gently stir in the cumin, harissa, pine nuts and raisins.
  • Remove from oven and trickle over the Aubergine sauce.

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/9dcd2f11.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/Purple-Swap-AM-Banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr336/jess4freedom/Zaar%20banners/saltpepper_amtag.jpg" border="0" alt="Salt and Pepper"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/Halloween/4811_180750-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
