Method
- Thickly slice the aubergines and arrange over a grill rack. Brush lightly with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then grill until browned. Turn them over, brush and season again then cook until tender, about 8-10 mins in total. Remove from the grill and cut each slice into quarters.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then tip into a bowl with the aubergine, coriander and red onion. Mix the dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar, shake well, then use to dress the salad.

Try as I might I cannot grow coriander all year round ans so, I fry some onions in olive oil and spices such as cumin and coriander. I stir this into various beans and also plenty of salad and grated carrot etc..
This sort of thing gives the interest in healthy foods for lunch boxes, quick meals with a myriad of additions also offering the much needed variety.
omg, i have just made this for tea and hubby is late - tempted to just eat it all myself and send him out to forage for himself. Have fried the aubergine after brushing it with the dressing, used smoked paprika and added some mint and parsley along with the corriander. Am serving with good quality chilli sausages and think that it will definately become a favorite
Totally delicious! I used black cumin instead of regular cumin. It has a wonderful smoky mint flavour. I also used smoked paprika and black cumin to flavour the oil I used to brush the aubergine slices, and regular paprika in the dressing. Since I don't like raw onion, I cut the onion into quarters and grilled it too. I served this on a bed of salad leaves for a main course lunch.
