Lucinda Hamilton creates a vegetarian barbecue dish using Aubergines

  1. Cut the aubergine into 5 or 6 slices lengthways.
  2. Mix all the other ingredients together.
  3. Brush the aubergines with the mixture, making sure you coat each side. Leave to rest until ready to cook.
  4. When ready to grill place directly on the barbecue grill and cook each side for 5-6 minutes until nicely charred.
  5. Remove from barbecue and serve warm or cold.
