Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 fan. Drizzle a little oil onto a roasting tray and give it a good rub. This will stop the aubergines sticking. Add the aubergines and the oil. season with plenty of salt and toss together. Arrange in a layer and scatter over the Baharat. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning half way, until tender. Once cooked, Squeeze over the juice of ½ a lemon.
- Meanwhile, whisk the tahini, water, garlic, remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth. It will split and then come back together.
- Swirl the yogurt onto a serving plate. Top with the aubergines and drizzle over the tahini sauce. Scatter over the pine nut, dried mint, Turkish pepper flakes and mint. Serve immediately.
