Step 1
Lightly rub aubergine with a thin layer of oil to coat, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Step 2
Smoke on a low, indirect burn for 10 minutes to infuse flavor.
Step 3
To finish, grill or place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 -30 minutes until soft and cooked (do not over cook and make mushy).
Step 4
Remove from heat and allow to cool before cutting.
Step 5
Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and the diced onion, allowing it to slightly char, then add a little salt, pepper and the cumin, then stir to incorporate. Add diced red pepper and remove from heat. (We want the pepper to stay crunchy.)
Step 6
Transfer everything to a small bowl, add a splash of vinegar and the chopped herbage.
Step 7
Add all of the dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk together to blend.
Step 8
We steam the Naan or heat on hot skillet for a bout a minute on both sides before making the sandwich. This adds warmth and helps make the bread more pliable and pleasant. It adds that sense of professionalism in our opinion.
Step 9
Add some lettuce and top with the aubergine, relish and dressing to build the ultimate sandwich. Fold and go!
