Turn the hallway through. Cook until soft and lightly scorched.

    Cool, and slice off stalk. Slice each aubergine open and scoop out the flesh and garlic onto a chopping board. Discard the skin. Top the aubergine with tahini, juice from half the lemon, 2tbsp of the oil and season generously. Chop all the ingredients together to make a paste. Season to taste again, then transfer to a dish and top with a little more oil.

    Place the chickpeas in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5mins then drain and cool.
  • STEP 4
    Heat the remaining 3tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and add red onion over a high heat. Fry for 3mins until starting to soften. Chop the last garlic clove and add to the pan.

Remove from the heat and stir through remaining lemon juice and coriander. Season to taste. Serve the hash with the aubergine dip, warmed pittas, olives with feta, hot chilli sauce and lemon wedges.
