Soft-baked aubergine with sesame oil - that by itself tastes utterly delicious! But it's even better with the broccoli rice, which, as well as being a simple alternative to normal rice, has a unique taste that goes brilliantly with the aubergine and the sauce. The dish is rounded off with the pear & sesame sauce, which imparts a slight sweetness and perfectly ties together all the flavours! So get cooking now!

How it's done

Aubergines

Halve the aubergines lengthwise and make 6 diagonal incisions into each half. Scatter with salt and drizzle with oil.

Bake: for 40-50 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C (convection).

Sauce

Boil the pears in the boiling water for approx. 15 mins. until soft, drain. In a food processor, finely puree the pears and all the ingredients up to and including the yoghurt, season.

Broccoli & kohlrabi rice

In a food processor, very finely chop the broccoli and kohlrabi (to the size of grains of rice), place in a frying pan. Add the sesame seeds, salt and pepper. Fry everything over a medium heat for approx. 10 mins., stirring constantly, until the vegetables are cooked.

Serve & garnish

Divide the pear sauce between 2 plates, arrange the baked aubergines on the sauce, then top the aubergines with the broccoli & kohlrabi rice. Mix the lamb's lettuce with the lime juice and add to the dish with the spring onions, drizzle with a little maple syrup and serve at once.
