Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat a gas barbecue to medium-high or light your charcoal barbecue until the coals have burnt down and are covered in grey ash. You’ll need to do this about 30 minutes before you plan to cook. If cooking indoors, set a grill hob to medium-high.
step 2
When your barbecue or grill hob is hot, brush the aubergine halves (2) with olive oil and place them skin-side down onto the grill. Cook for 10 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure they aren’t sticking.
step 3
Flip the aubergines and grill cut-side down for a further 5 minutes, until nicely charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and season with salt.
step 4
Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the pomegranate molasses (2 tbsp), vinegar (1 tbsp), maple syrup (2 tsp) and olive oil (2 tbsp) to a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 5
Spread the whipped harissa feta (1 tub) onto a serving plate and top with the drained chickpeas (1 jar). Drizzle with a little olive oil.
step 6
Cut the grilled aubergine into triangular chunks and add to the plate. Drizzle over the pomegranate molasses dressing, crumble over the pitta chips (70 g) and scatter with the mint leaves (15 g) and pomegranate rubies (100 g).
