  • 2 tablespoons red miso paste

Steps

  2. In a pan over high heat, add the oil and put the aubergine skin facing down.
  3. Cook for a few minutes until the skin is brown then turn over and cover with a lid. Cook until the aubergine is cooked through (about 3 to 4 minutes).

  5. Put the cooked aubergine onto a grill tray. Brush the miso mix on top of each half until all the surface is coated.
  6. Put under the grill for about 5 minutes. The miso mix should be bubbling when you take it out of the oven.
