Method

Prepare your BBQ to hot or preheat the grill to high.
Whisk together the miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce and 2 tbsp boiling water until smooth.
Score a diamond pattern into the cut side of the aubergines, roughly 1cm between each cut. Ensure you don’t cut the whole way through. Spoon half of the marinade over the cut-side of the aubergines, encouraging it to drip into the cuts. Set aside to marinate for 15 mins.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, courgette ribbons, coriander, saving a little to garnish, and the remaining dressing. Set aside to allow the flavours to infuse.
Ensure your BBQ or grill is hot. Add the aubergine, cut-side down first and cook for 5-8 mins either side until visibly charred and starting to soften. Char both sides of the bread for 2-3 mins. Alternatively, toast the bread under the grill until slightly blackened and grill the aubergines for 15 mins.
Once cool enough to handle, tear the charred bread into chunks and toss through the tomato salad. Spoon onto a serving platter and top with the aubergines.
Serve sprinkled with spring onions and the remaining coriander.
