Preparation

Step 1

May 30, 2016 | Makes 6

These are so summery and perfect for lunch or dinner outside when it gets a little warmer. Aubergines have the most gorgeous texture and they taste incredible paired with loads of middle eastern spices. You can roast the aubergines ahead of time but serve the fritters hot straight from the pan.  They also double as a crazy delicious breakfast topped with a poached egg.

Preheat the onion to 180’C.

Cut the aubergine into cubes. Add the cubes to a large roasting tray and drizzle on 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with a good pinch of coarse salt and pepper and toss. Add the garlic cloves in too, skin on.

Add the roasted aubergine to your food processor and squeeze the garlic from it’s skin before adding it in too. Add in the spices, herbs, tahini and ground almonds and pulse, just until combined- you want it chunky, not a paste.

Stir the pine nuts into the mixture. Use damp hands to shape the mixture into patties.

Pop the pan back on medium-high heat and add in another tablespoon of olive oil.

Combine all of the yoghurt ingredients and serve with the hot burgers.
