Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Peel the aubergine with a potato peeler and roughly spread the miso paste all over it – the best way to do this is with the back of a spoon.

  • step 2

    Put it in a roasting tin along with the sweet potato wedges. Pour 225ml boiling water into the base of the tin, then add the oil, ginger and garlic. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the wedges and place in the oven.

  • step 3

    After 30 mins, pour another 125ml boiling water into the base of the tin and roast for another 20 mins. Repeat, adding 50ml boiling water and the spring onions, and roast for 10 mins more. Check the aubergine is cooked by inserting a knife in the centre – if it is ready it will easily slide in and out, and the aubergine will be soft on the inside.

  • step 4

    Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potato wedges, slice the aubergine into 2cm thick ‘steaks’ and serve on top of the potatoes. If there is no sauce in the bottom of the tin, add 3 tbsp water to loosen up the miso, then pour the miso gravy over the aubergine steaks and sprinkle with cracked black pepper.

Heads up to people making this dish - they're missing a *crucial* step in the method which makes all the difference. When you put the aubergines in the roasting tin, ensure you're also using the grill rack! Place them on the rack and never add so much water that there's water actually touching the…

Came out like mush

Sorry, but this is one of the worst recipes I've ever tried from this site. It smells delicious when cooking but sadly tastes terrible. Pity, as I love all the ingredients, but not when put together like this.

I really liked this recipe, as a new vegetarian I am still exploring different things to make for meals that are not just pastry and cheese! I cut my aubergine in half lengthways as it was not large enough to slice nicely, and scored the flesh in a diamond pattern, roasted covered in foil for 20…

There's something not quite right about this recipe. All the ingredients are great but all that water just makes it a mush (and I didn't use as much as the recipe suggested).
