You can make this recipe on the barbecue – cook the aubergines whole until they are blackened and soft all over. Fry the onion in a pan that can sit on the barbecue, then mix the aubergine flesh and beans and jerk paste all together in the pan. Cook on the barbecue (preferably with a lid) for 15 minutes, stirring every so often.

Other roast or grilled vegetables can be used alongside the aubergine – peppers, courgettes, squash, sweetcorn all work really well.
