step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
step 2
Place the aubergine halves (2) cut side up in a baking tray or ovenproof dish, and drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil.
step 3
Smear 1 tsp rose harissa paste (4 tsp) and 1 tsp maple syrup (4 tsp) over each aubergine half. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the aubergine halves are tender and soft to the touch when you push a spoon into the flesh.
step 4
Meanwhile, tip the drained chickpeas (2 tins) and cherry tomatoes (335 g) into a separate baking tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir through the chilli (1 tsp) and garlic (2 tsp) until everything is well coated, then season with a pinch of salt.
step 5
Bake in the oven along with the aubergine for 30 minutes, until the chickpeas are crisp and golden and the tomatoes are juicy.
step 6
Divide the chickpeas and tomatoes between four plates, and place an aubergine half on top of each. Top each with a small spoonful of coconut pot (to taste), a handful of torn mint (1 bunch) and a scattering of pomegranate seeds (200 g).
