Miso glazed aubergine
This meat-free alternative is packed with a sweet, savoury umami flavour and you only need 5 ingredients.
Serves 2: Difficulty / Easy.
Ingredients
2 Aubergines
2 tbsp Miso paste
1 tbsp runny honey
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
Prep: 5 Minutes
- Preheat oven to 200C (fan)
- Cut 2 aubergines in half (lengthways) and score the flesh so you have a diamond pattern being careful not to pierce the skin.
- In a small bowl add 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp runny honey, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil and mix well.
Cook: 40 Minutes
- Place the aubergine’s flesh side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and transfer to the oven. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and with a spoon or pastry brush spread the miso mix to each one making sure they are nicely coated and you have got it into all the cuts.
- Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes until they are nicely charred and sticky!
Simply serve with steamed rice, and garnish with a few roasted sesame seeds, pomegranate seeds, and finely chopped chives.
