Instructions
- Place the washed spelt in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 20 minutes, until soft.
- Meanwhile, mix the harissa with the olive oil and coat all of the aubergine slices in this marinade.
- Grill, griddle or fry aubergine slices for around 4-5 minutes on each side, until softened.
- Mix the yoghurt with the remaining marinate and put to one side.
- Toast the almonds for about 2-3 minutes in a dry pan or 6-8 minutes under a grill but keep a close eye on them.
- Lightly steam or boil the mange tout until just cooked, but still nice and crunchy.
- When it's ready, drain the spelt and mix in the cumin, coriander and lemon juice.
- In a large bowl add the spinach, and herbs and mix these with the warm spelt so they wilt a little. Then add the pomegranate seeds, sun dried tomatoes, almonds and mange tout and give it all another little mix.
- Lastly, top with the cooked aubergine and drizzle the yoghurt on top.
