Method

  1. Light the barbecue. While it heats up, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, the tahini, yogurt, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Season. Cover and chill for at least 20 mins to let the flavours come together.
  2. Once the barbecue flames have died down and the coals are white and ashy, rub the aubergines with 1 tbsp oil until all sides are coated. Cook for 8-10 mins on each side, until soft and charred.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the caramelized onions to pack instructions.
  4. Put the aubergines in a serving dish and drizzle over some of the tahini sauce and top with the onions. Scatter over the black sesame seeds and coriander. Serve any extra tahini sauce on the side for dipping.
