3 tbsp white miso paste
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp honey

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a large bowl, then add the aubergine wedges and toss to coat well.
Transfer the aubergines and dressing to a large roasting tray, drizzle over a little oil and season with salt and ground black pepper. Roast the aubergines for 35-40 minutes until golden, sticky and soft.
Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds briefly in a dry frying pan until pale golden. When the wedges are cooked, arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses and scatter over the sesame seeds and fresh chopped herbs. Serve with a dollop of yogurt if you like.

To make this a main-course salad rather than a side dish, serve with sliced cucumber, pomegranate seeds, torn buffalo mozzarella and fresh rocket leaves.

Add a sprinkle of aleppo pepper (or regular chilli flakes) for extra kick.

This was amazing, but I there was just too much of the sauce. It was very salty. I recommend using enough for the aubergine wedges to be coated, but not all of it.
