Description Title

Method:


Pre-heat the over to 200 degrees (fan)

 prick the aubergines with a fok and place on a baking tray with the peppers. Roast for 40-50 minutes until soft

When cool enough to handle, peel the aubergines and peppers with a knife. (barbequeing gives a charred flavour so do this for extra smokiness)

Finely chop the aubergines and pepper flesh and mix with all the other ingredients in a bowl

Leave in the fridge for at least an hour until ready to serve and just sprinkle on some oil for garnish and season to taste

You can add a sprinkling of walnuts on the top if you like
