  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp aleppo pepper flakes, (see cook’s notes)

Method

  1. Light the barbecue. Meanwhile, sprinkle the aubergine slices on both sides with 1 tbsp of salt.
  2. Allow to drain in a colander or sieve for 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
  3. To make the salsa, put the onion slices over direct heat on the barbecue (skewering them first will make them more stable) and cook for 8 minutes or until lightly charred on both sides.
  4. Finely chop and mix with the other salsa ingredients, plus some salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Combine the molasses, cumin, cinnamon, aleppo pepper, sumac and olive oil, and mix to a paste.
  6. Brush evenly over the aubergine slices and thread them, concertina style, onto six skewers, packing them quite tightly.

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Distilled White Vinegar

  3. Add the white vinegar to the soy milk and let it curdle. Then add that in along with the applesauce, apricot jam and coconut oil and mix into a batter. Use a hand whisk briefly to remove any large lumps. It’s okay if the apricot jam isn’t entirely mixed and has some little lumps.
  4. Transfer the batter to your prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  6. When the malva is almost finished cooking, start on your sauce.
  7. Add the butter to a saucepan and melt it. Add the sugar and coconut cream and heat together until it reaches a simmer, stirring all the while. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract.
  8. When the malva comes out the oven, poke holes all over it with a toothpick and then pour over the sauce making sure to distribute it evenly across the whole pudding. Let the sauce sink in and then cut into squares.
  9. Serve warm with vegan whipped cream or vegan ice cream.
