The combination of tender barbecued aubergine flesh and this wonderfully aromatic vinaigrette is simply heavenly.

5tbsp olive oil
1tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2tbsp chopped fresh chives


1 Lightly salt the aubergine slices and leave to stand for 30 minutes to draw out the bitter juices.

2 Meanwhile combine the oil, vinegar, garlic and seasoning and blend thoroughly.

3 Rinse the aubergine slices and dry them thoroughly on kitchen paper.
Place in a large bowl, add half the vinaigrette and toss thoroughly.

4 Place on the barbecue turning regularly until golden brown on each side.
Brush with extra vinaigrette as necessary.

5 When cooked, remove the aubergine slices from the barbecue and toss with any remaining dressing.

Sprinkle with the chopped chives and serve immediately.
