Method

Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC (fan).

Prick the aubergines all over with a small, sharp knife or fork and place them onto a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, then place into the oven and bake for around 1 hour, or until the aubergines are cooked through. 

Meanwhile add the yoghurt and tahini to a bowl and mix well. Finely grate in the garlic and mix again, then season with salt and pepper and spoon into a serving bowl. Ripple in the chilli oil or harissa and place to one side. 

Boil the eggs to your liking (around 6 minutes for a soft-boiled yolk), then cool them in iced water, peel and place to one side. 

Spoon the cooked bulgur wheat, chopped tomatoes, most of the chopped herbs and red onion into a bowl. Season and mix well. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil, then mix again. 

When the aubergines are cooked through and tender, remove from the oven and place each onto a serving plate. Cut each aubergine in half lengthways, then spoon over the tahini chilli yoghurt, halve an egg and place on top. Spoon some herby tabbouleh onto the plate, next to the aubergine, sprinkle with the chilli flakes and herbs and top with a little more salt and pepper.
