Spicy Aubergine Pitta with Peanut Dressing

Pop 2/3 of the peanuts into a blender and blitz until smooth. You'll need to intermittently scrape down the sides. Add the garlic, ginger, water and a squeeze of lime juice, then blitz until smooth and combined. Season with salt and pepper. Crush the rest of the peanuts with the back of a knife and set aside.

Dice the aubergine into 2cm pieces. Toss in a splash of oil, the curry powder, salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan over a medium high heat and add the aubergine, turning often until charred. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Chop the cucumber, scoop out the seeds and slice. Deseed and finely dice the chilli. Pick the mint leaves and finely chop, then finely slice the red onion. Toss the cucumber, chilli, mint and red onion in a bowl, squeeze over the remaining lime juice and season with salt.

Toast the pitta and slice open round one edge to create a flap. Open up, spread with peanut sauce, then stuff with the slaw, aubergine and crushed peanuts.

Thanks made it just now, very fresh combo just have to figure out what to do with all the left over sauce.... (which is a good problem).

Super tasty - agree a lot of peanut sauce and I needed a lot more water than recommended to make it smooth but I froze some of the sauce to use next time.

Great combination of flavours. I'd half the amount of peanut dressing next time — it makes plenty.
