Ingredients
1 large aubergine (eggplant)
4 oz olive oil
1 pinch of salt
8 tsp sundried tomato paste
8 basil leaves
8 oz halloumi, cut into 8 pieces
16 cocktail sticks, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
Trim the end and slice the aubergine into 8 thin slices, lengthways. Place on a baking tray and sprinkle with salt. Leave for 30-60 minutes until the bitter juices have been extracted and the slices are pliable. Rinse well and pat dry on kitchen towel.
Season the olive oil with freshly ground black pepper and brush over one side of each slice.
Spread 1 teaspoon of sundried tomato paste over each slice then place a basil leaf topped with a piece of halloumi on one end and roll up. Secure by skewering with two criss-crossed cocktail sticks.
Brush the outside of the rolls with olive oil and barbecue for about 5-6 minutes on each side until tender and starting to char.
