Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 brinjals
1 butternut, thinly sliced
1–2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 x 400 g can lentils, drained and rinsed

For the dressing:

1 t tahini
½ cup plain thick yoghurt
½ lemon
½ clove garlic, crushed
celery leaves, for serving
parsley leaves, for serving

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. Halve the brinjals lengthways, then score the fresh in a crisscross pattern. Arrange on a baking tray with thinly sliced butternut, drizzle with olive oil, season and sprinkle over crushed garlic. Roast for 30–40 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.

3. To make the dressing, mix the tahini with ½ cup plain thick yoghurt, the juice of ½ lemon, ½ clove crushed garlic and season to taste. Shallow fry a few celery and parsley leaves in hot oil for a few seconds until crisp, drain on kitchen paper and season with sea salt.

5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and garnish with sprouts and the celery and parsley leaves.
