Juice of 2 limes

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Salt the quartered aubergines for 30 minutes and then wash and thoroughly dry.
For the Sunflower Seed Butter: add the 100ml oil, 400g sunflower seeds and 2 cloves of confit garlic to a rapid blister and pulse until it starts to break down. Slowly add 100ml hot water until a buttery consistency is achieved. Season to taste.
For the Salsa Verde: hand cut all the herbs then add the other ingredients until you get an herby, runny pesto.
Marinate the aubergines in the harissa paste for 2 hours, and then grill on a griddle pan to achieve dark grill marks on all sides. Cook at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve with the herb pesto and the sunflower seed butter and sprinkle with the dukkha.
