It makes a great Eggplant salad or a simple side dish that is quick and easy to make.

Since taking an online culinary course, I have fallen in love with couscous and Bulgur wheat, making these recipes on a regular basis

  • Bulgur Wheat Salad with Tomatoes and Feta Cheese
  • Bulgur Wheat Salad with Cucumber and Carrot

Here's How to make this Aubergine and Couscous Salad

Brush the slices of Aubergine with a little oil

Preheat the grill to a medium setting. Slice the Aubergines into rounds of about ½ cm thick and place them onto a baking tray. Brush with a little Olive oil then add some salt and pepper to taste.

Grill for about 10 - 15 mins, until browned and softened. Turning and brushing with more oil and seasoning halfway through cooking time.

Heat the stock in a medium pan and bring to a simmer, add the couscous and very gently simmer for about 10 mins or until the couscous is soft and tender. Do not overcook. Finer couscous will take less time to cook.

I have a packet of Couscous as a regular staple in our house. Jessica Gavin has more info as to what Couscous is.

When cooked, take off the heat give it a stir to fluff up the couscous and leave to cool a little. If there is still some liquid stock remaining, but not too much, that’s fine.

Add the couscous to a serving dish along with the Aubergines, tomatoes, mint, Lemon juice, Sesame Seeds and a drizzle of Toasted Sesame Oil if using. Give everything a good mix. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
