How to Make Aubergines In A Spicy Honey Sauce

  1. Preheat your grill or griddle pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Peel the aubergines and slice them into 1cm/1/3in thick rounds.
  3. Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  4. Grill or griddle the aubergine slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. They don't need to be fully cooked at this stage.
  5. While the aubergines are grilling, mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  6. In a wide saucepan or frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  7. Stir in the grated ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper (or chili powder), honey, and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  8. Add the water to the pan. Bring to a simmer.
  9. Add the grilled aubergine slices to the sauce, ensuring they are coated evenly. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the aubergines are tender and have absorbed most of the sauce, turning occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a little more water if the sauce becomes too thick.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spicy Honey Aubergine!
