Method

  1. Lay the aubergine slices on a baking tray and brush on both sides with 2-3 tbsp of the oil and season with salt.
  2. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and season. Dot over the ricotta. In a separate bowl mix the pesto with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Wait until the barbecue has cooled a bit to cook the aubergine, so do these after the meat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until softened. Lay out on a platter and scatter with the tomatoes and ricotta. Drizzle with the pesto dressing.
