Cooking mode
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare a large baking tray. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways and score the flesh in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut through the skin. Place on the baking tray, cut sides up.
  2. 2. In a small bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients. Brush half of the sauce over the aubergines, working it into the scored flesh. Roast for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and roast for another 10 minutes, until softened and caramelised.
  3. 3. Heat any remaining sauce in a small pan for 2 minutes over a medium heat.
  4. 4. Serve the aubergines topped with the remaining sauce and an extra sprinkle of coriander.
