Ingredients

125g Nando’s Lemon & Herb PERi-PERi Sauce

2 x large aubergines

4 x tbsp oil

200g couscous

2 x tomatoes, diced

1/2 cucumber, diced

1 x onion, diced

A handful of parsley

To serve

Serve on its own or add a lemon wedge

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2

Cut the aubergines in half and score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern using a sharp knife. Rub each half with a tablespoon of oil and brush with half of the Lemon & Herb PERi-PERi Sauce. Roast face down on the baking tray for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While that's in the oven, boil 200ml of water in the kettle. When boiled, add the couscous to a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Once the couscous is soft, fluff with a fork and toss with tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. Sprinkle with some of the parsley to garnish.

Step 5

Flip the aubergine over, roast for around five more minutes or until golden and brush over the rest of the Lemon & Herb PERi-PERi Sauce. Serve each aubergine half on a bed of couscous, top with parsley and serve with a lemon wedge.
