I need food to wake me up
The sprightliness of the lemon and chili gives a lovely little wake up call on a Sunday afternoon. The aubergine which just came into season gets all tender and smokey in the oven and after being doused in the marinade for a couple of hours makes the most tangy and heartwarming post all nighter hangover cure.
1 large aubergine (sliced in half width wise, then each half in half again and sliced into crescents)
Marinade
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
2 cloves of garlic (thinly sliced)
1 red chili
handful of fresh basil
4 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 220 / gas mark 7. Cut up the aubergine and put on baking tray, drizzle with some olive oil. Bake for 15-18minutes, should turn golden on top. Make the marinade by combining all the ingredients in a big bowl. Add the cooked aubergine and leave for 2 hours. Eat whenever
