Servings: 4 main servings
Calories: 672kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Large aubergines washed and cut lengthways
- Circa 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil for brushing
For the 'miso-mix' glaze:
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp. soya sauce
- 2 tsp. miso paste
- 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar balso
- 1 tbsp. sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175C
- Brush the aubergine wedges, cut sides, with oil and roast for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile mix all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Add the miso-mix to the aubergine (still in the oven dish) and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes turn the aubergine slices, so they’re completely covered in the miso-mix, and bake for a further 10-15 minutes. (total cooking time 45-50 minutes)
- Serve as you wish and enjoy!
- Haha sidebar: I can't hear the phrase 'As you wish' without thinking of The Princess Bride!
Notes
NOTE: This dish can vary in cooking times depending on the age of your aubergine (young ones are best) and the thickness of your aubergine slices. The key is to cut off a little taster before turning the oven off. If the skin is a little on the chewy side cook them longer! Although cooking times can vary (I find the times above are sufficient for me) this dish is effortless to make (and devour!)
The nutrition information is for a main portion... an easy way to lower the fat and calorie intake is to use 2 tbsp oil instead of 3 (currently there's 1tbsp for brushing and 2tbsp in the miso glaze). Next time I'm going too try making it with 1 tbsp less oil (by reducing the brushing to half a tbsp and the glaze to 1 and a half)... I'll let you know how it goes!
