Cook: 1 hour

Serves: 4

Method:

  • Heat the oven to 200°C. Trim the top off the garlic bulb to reveal the cloves. Season with a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of oil and wrap in tinfoil then roast for 35 minutes, until nicely softened and golden.

  • Set aside to cool completely, then squeeze the head to release the roast cloves from the papery skins. Discard the skins.

  • Grill the aubergines on either a BBQ or open gas flame. Pierce each one and set it over the flame. Grill the aubergines on each side until totally charred and soft. Once grilled, set over a colander in the sink for an hour.
