How to Make Aubergines In A Spicy Honey Sauce
- Preheat your grill or griddle pan to medium-high heat.
- Peel the aubergines and slice them into 1cm/1/3in thick rounds.
- Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- 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.
- While the aubergines are grilling, mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
- 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.
- Stir in the grated ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper (or chili powder), honey, and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add the water to the pan. Bring to a simmer.
- 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.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spicy Honey Aubergine!
