  • 100 g 100 g cucumber, diced
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp 1 tsp cumin powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp tahini
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
  • Sliced radishes optional
  • Avocado slices optional
  • Feta cheese (crumbled) optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan
  • 20 cm (8 inch) square baking tray
  • Chef's knife
  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Cooking spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the diced eggplant on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cumin powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set; this should take about 6-8 minutes.
  4. While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
  5. To assemble the bowl, place two tortillas on each plate. Spoon the scrambled eggs into the center, add the roasted eggplant and diced cucumber around them.
  6. Drizzle tahini over the top and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
