- Prepare the carrots for roasting by roughly chopping and laying out on a baking tray, evenly spaced (may require more than one tray so that all carrots are spaced). Drizzle over the honey, olive oil and crushed garlic. Roast at 190°C for roughly 40 mins, until tender.
- In a separate tray, arrange the chunked aubergine and roast in the oven for 20 mins, until soft.
- Once cooked and cooled slightly, crush the aubergine with the yoghurt, tahini and parsley in a bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the quinoa in a saucepan of boiling water for approximately 15 mins and blanch the kale in a separate pan of boiling water for 3 mins.
- Drain any remaining water from the quinoa and sift the kale out from the boiling water once blanched. Then combine the roasted carrots, kale, quinoa, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- To serve, arrange the carrot and quinoa mixture in shallow bowls or containers of your choice, and top with a dollop of the roasted aubergine yoghurt and the extra freshly chopped parsley.
