  • Drain the chickpeas and set aside 30g per person, then transfer the rest to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Pat dry with kitchen paper and drizzle lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat, then roast for 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Scatter over the Middle Eastern spices, then toss well to coat.

  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan and cook the rice for 8 - 11 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • Crush or mince the garlic and finely dice the eggplant.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the eggplant with the garlic, the balsamic vinegar and a splash of water for 6 - 8 minutes, covered.
Make the sauce

  • Add the dates and some sambal as preferred, then fry for 2 more minutes. 
  • Transfer the beetroot and its juices to a tall container. Add the reserved chickpeas, then process with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Finely chop the mint and quarter the lemon.
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt with half of the mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve

  • In a bowl, combine the lettuce with the juice of a quarter lemon per person and some extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
