Inspired by Filipino Tortang Talong, but using a cornflour instead of egg makes this vegan and a little crispy. Everything crispy is better with a salt and white pepper spice mix.
Roasted until soft, dredged in cornflour and white pepper, and crisped up in chilli oil. It’s smoky, salty, crispy on the outside, melty in the middle — and the tahini-lime sauce underneath pulls it all together. Eat it for lunch, have it as a starter for a dinner party, or as a shared dish served family style.
