Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, peel and crush the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon. Halve the eggplant lengthways, and cut the sweet potato into 1 cm cubes. Finely chop the mint, red onion, and chilli (deseeded).

Prepare the eggplant
2

In a medium bowl, whisk the garlic, half of the sumac, half of the lemon juice and one third of the olive oil until well combined. Brush on to the cut side of the eggplant halves and then place cut side up on one half of a lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes.

Cook the veggies
3

In the same bowl, toss the sweet potato in half of the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and add to the tray with the eggplant. Cook both the sweet potato and eggplant for a further 30 minutes or until golden and tender.

4

Meanwhile, combine the yoghurt, tahini, remaining lemon juice and half of the lemon zest in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.

Prepare the dressing
5

In a separate bowl, combine the mint, long red chilli, red onion, remaining sumac and remaining olive oil.

Combine the couscous & potato
6

Place the couscous in a medium bowl and pour over the boiling water. Stir with a fork and immediately cover the bowl with cling wrap and set aside for 5 minutes. Remove the cling wrap and fluff the couscous with a fork. Stir through the remaining lemon zest, a drizzle of olive oil and the roast sweet potato. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

7

To serve, divide the couscous between plates. Top with the eggplant halves, a smear of tahini yoghurt and top with the mint and chilli dressing.
