Although I call this a paté you could also use it as a vegetarian burger - or just eat it off the end of a fork!

Serves 6Aubergine and chilli pate

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 medium aubergines (eggplant)
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil
  • 1-3 red chillis depending on how hot they are and how hot you want your mixture

  • 2 heaped tbsps of your favourite nut or seed butter

Method

  1. Wipe and slice the aubergines (eggplant) thickly.
  2. Drizzle with olive then grate generous amounts of sea salt and black pepper over them.
  3. Toast under a hot grill (broiler) until well browned then turn the slices over and repeat the process.
  4. Deseed the chillis and chop them small.
  5. Purée all the ingredients in a food processor adding extra chilli, salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve with raw vegetables, crackers or a salad - or form into burger shapes and serve with vegetables.
