BBQ Aubergine with Chilli Buttermilk & Herb Sauce
Our bbq aubergines are spicy and delightful. We love them as a summer side when we crank up the bbq. Use DYC white vinegar to make the buttermilk for the dressing!2 aubergines

1/4 cup Olivado Chilli Avocado Oil, plus extra for the BBQ
¼ cup Superb Herb Mint, finely chopped
¼ cup Superb Herb Coriander, finely chopped
2 tbsp DYC Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tbsp Airborne Classic Manuka Multifloral Honey, melted
1 garlic clove, crushed
Mrs Rogers Himalayan Pink Salt & Gourmet Pepper
For The Dressing:
½ cup buttermilk (make this with 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 tablespoon of DYC white vinegar - mix and leave to stand for 5 minutes before using)

1
Preheat the barbecue grill to a medium heat.
2
Cut the aubergines in half then deeply score with a sharp knife, making sure not to pierce the skin.
3
Lather the aubergines with chilli avocado oil, salt and pepper, then lay the halved aubergines on the grill side of the bbq. You want to get both sides nice and charred. They may need finishing off in the oven for a little while, otherwise pop them up on the higher rack in the bbq to finish them off. You want them to be charred and crispy on the outside but squishy in the middle.
