• Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Cook couscous until tender (about 8 minutes). Drain and briefly run under cold water - this will help stop the couscous from sticking together.

FRIED EGGPLANT SALAD WITH SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• 1.Halve the eggplants lengthways and cut into ½ cm slices on the diagonal. Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add olive oil (see tip). Fry the eggplant in batches, seasoning with salt and removing from the pan when both sides are a deep golden brown. Add more oil if needed and fry the onion until golden brown. 2. For the dressing, combine the ingredients and stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Toss the fried eggplant and onion with the cucumber, parsley (if using) and baby salad leaves, then add enough of the dressing to coat the leaves. Transfer to a serving plate and scatter with the feta. Adam's tip Eggplant will absorb oil as it starts to cook, but will release a lot of it back into the pan as cooking continues. So don't be tempted to add too much oil. And no, you don't need to salt eggplant beforehand.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Put a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, shaking the pan and tossing the nuts frequently, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Watch them carefully, and keep them moving, so they don't burn. Immediately transfer them to a plate to cool; if you leave them in the pan, even off the heat, they could burn.
• Brush the cut side of the eggplant halves with oil and sprinkle them with za'atar and a little salt. Set the halves on a large piece of aluminum foil and fold it up to tightly enclose them. Put the foil packet on a small baking sheet and bake until the eggplant is fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• When the eggplant is tender, remove it from the oven, turn the oven to broil, and arrange a rack so the eggplant will be just a few inches from the flame. Open the foil packet, brush the eggplant with the pomegranate molasses, and broil just until the molasses is bubbly, about a minute.
• Drizzle the juices from the foil packet over the rice. Top with the eggplant halves and scatter on the cherry tomatoes, mint, feta, and pine nuts.
