Method

01
Roast the aubergine in the oven, 190oC, for about an hour, or until it is soft to the touch
02
Put the cooked aubergine (without the green top) into a food processor and add all other ingredients. Process until all ingredients are mixed. If the mixture is too runny, add some more flaxseed or breadcrumbs if not wishing it to be wheat-free
03
Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your own taste
04
Scoop up about 2 tablespoons (more or less if you wish) and shape roughly into a circle using your hands. Roll in seasoned flour, or gluten-free sesame flour. Cook on the BBQ or roast in the oven until brown. Serve with a tahini dressing
