Introduction

Miso aubergines seem to be all the rage at the moment, and with good reason – the flavours work beautifully together. This version adds a punchy sesame and lime dressing to liven up both the aubergines and the crispy tofu. Serve alongside fluffy white rice.

Ingredients

	For the dressing:
2	aubergines, halved lengthways
250g	firm organic tofu, cut into 1.5cm slices
75g	miso paste
2 tbsp	sesame oil
2.5cm	ginger, grated
2 cloves of	garlic, crushed
100g	spring greens, thickly sliced
1	red chilli, finely chopped
2cm	ginger, grated
2 cloves of	garlic, grated
2	limes, zest of 1 and juice of both
2 tbsp	soy sauce
2 tbsp	sesame oil
3	spring onions, thinly sliced
	To serve:
30g	sesame seeds
	white rice

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6. Cut deep cross-hatches into each aubergine half, then transfer to a roasting tin along with the tofu.

Mix the miso paste with the sesame oil, ginger and garlic, then rub this into everything in the roasting tin. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes. Then, rub the spring greens with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, add them to the tin and cook for a further 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the chilli, ginger, garlic, lime zest and juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and spring onions together. Tip this dressing over the aubergine and tofu as soon as it comes out of the oven, then scatter with the sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice alongside.

Note: You probably already have your favourite tofu brand – I’ve found that the ‘Tofoo’ organic brand from the supermarket works well roasted.
