Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 170°c (fan assisted)/375°f/gas 5.

Combine the aubergine wedges, harissa, a good glug of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Use your hands to give everything a good mix and rub the harissa into the aubergine, then arrange the slices between two baking trays. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until soft in the middle and slightly charred on the edges.

Roughly dry the chickpeas with a tea towel, then mix with a glug of olive oil and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Pour out onto another baking tray and roast alongside the aubergine for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.

Meanwhile, combine the vegan yoghurt, lemon zest, dill, mint and a big pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
-
Spread the herby yoghurt out over the base of a serving dish. Arrange the roasted aubergines and chickpeas on top, then sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds, toasted pine nuts and a few sprigs of fresh dill. Finish with a good crack of black pepper.
