Black Tahini Miso Aubergine With Chilli Yogurt Dressing

Playing around with flavours in this dish… aubergine, miso, and tahini is the most fantastic combination bursting with umami. It only takes 15 minutes to prep, can be made early on as it’s delicious served at room temperature, and you can make it vegan by swapping out the yoghurt! 

Suppose you haven’t used black tahini before. In that case, it is a great ingredient, made from un-hulled black sesame seeds that have been roasted and ground with a darker, nuttier, toastier flavour.  Get some, it’s fabulous to roast with carrots and honey or to make black hummus… any of these dishes would look fantabulous on a Halloween table too! Right?
