Aubergine Baba Ganoush with Sumac Chicken & Feta Couscous

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Boil a kettle

Cut your aubergine[s] in half lengthways (including the stalks), then score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern, taking care not to cut through to the skin

Chop your courgette[s] and tomato[es] into bite-sized pieces

Line a baking tray (or two!) with tin foil and add the aubergine half[ves], diced courgette, and chopped tomato

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 trays!

Add a drizzle of vegetable oil and half your ground sumac (you'll use the rest later!) and put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until the aubergine is tender and slightly charred

Meanwhile, add most of the remaining ground sumac with a pinch of salt to a plate

Add your chicken breast strips and turn the chicken several times until it is fully coated in the sumac – this is your coated chicken

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add your coated chicken and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your sumac chicken

When the aubergine has 5 min remaining, add your couscous to a heatproof bowl with 130ml [190ml] [260ml] boiled water and your chicken stock mix, cover and set aside until all of the stock has been absorbed

Crush your garlic open by squashing it with the side of a knife and discard the skin

Once the aubergine is tender and slightly charred, remove the tray[s] from the oven and transfer the cooked aubergine to a chopping board

Return the tray[s] to the oven and cook for a final 5 min – this is your roast courgette & tomato

Remove the flesh from the cooked aubergine and add to a food processor with your tahini, garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil and blitz until smooth – this is your charred aubergine baba ganoush

Tip: No food processor? Chop everything up as finely as you can and mix it together!

Once the chicken is done, transfer to a clean board and slice – this is your sumac chicken

Crumble your feta into rough bite-sized pieces, add to the couscous and mix it all together – this is your feta couscous
