This version of a sabich was inspired by recipe author John Gregory-Smith's favourite shop, Sabich Number 10 on Tchernichovsky Street. His take on it is made with green tahini that gives it a rich herbal hit. Take it to the next level by using your own tahini.

GREEN TAHINI

  • 80g tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions and lemon juice into a bowl. Season with a little salt and toss together.

  • STEP 2

    To make the green tahini, put all the ingredients into a small food processor with 6 tbsp of water and some seasoning and blend until smooth.

    Heat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Pour the oil into a shallow dish and add a good pinch of salt. Toss the aubergine in the oil and season with salt. Griddle or fry for about 2-3 minutes a side or until charred and really tender.
