A very Happy New Year to you all!! After all the indulgence the past few weeks this dish is perfect for a light dinner. So vibrant and delicious… the skin of the aubergine gets smoky and charred while the flesh stays soft and juicy, the za’atar makes it nutty and tangy, then a creaminess from the drizzled garlicky spiced tahini sauce… so yum!
