Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the Middle Eastern spices and harissa yoghurt, though some found the harissa overpowering.
  • Ease of prep: Aubergine may need longer roasting than the recipe suggests for optimal tenderness.
  • Suggestions: Consider quartering the aubergine instead of smaller pieces. Adjust harissa to taste for a balanced flavour.
  • Portions: Works well as a light meal with rice, couscous, or flatbread; not just a side dish.
  • Pairings: Complements other Middle Eastern dishes like lamb flatbread, chermoula halloumi, or Ras El Hanout lamb.
