Add the aubergine halves, flesh side down and cook for 6-7 mins until golden brown. Turn them over and cook for another 5 mins (cooking times may vary by a minute or so depending on the size of the aubergines). Remove from the pan and leave to rest on some kitchen paper to get rid of any excess oil.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the grill to its highest setting. <\/p>\n<p>Mix together all the remaining ingredients except for the spring onions in a small bowl.  Arrange the aubergine halves, flesh side up, on a grill pan and spoon the mixture over each half.  Grill for 4-5 mins until the tops are bubbling and golden.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle over the slices spring onions and serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/salads.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/salads.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"salads\" width=\"570\" height=\"282\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20657\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/salads.png 570w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/salads-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* food and drink *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3648486817\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nigel Barden serves up a trio of autumn salads &#8211; Chickpea and Egg Curry, Miso and Ginger Glazed Aubergine, Caraway and Balsamic Roasted \n<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/20653\/nigel-barden-trio-of-autumn-salads-recipe-on-radio-2-drivetime\/\"> [...]<\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[91],"tags":[166],"class_list":["post-20653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food","tag-food"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/salads.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20653"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20658,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20653\/revisions\/20658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
