Cooking Steps

Roast the eggplant
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
  • Cut eggplant into bite-sized chunks.
  • Place on a lined oven tray, season with salt and drizzle with olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people). 
  • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool slightly.
Pickle the onion & roast the pumpkin
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients).
  • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside
  • Place peeled & diced pumpkin and garlic cloves (unpeeled) on a second lined oven tray.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Squeeze roasted garlic from skin. Roughly mash garlic and pumpkin with a fork.
Cook the bacon & heat the flatbreads
3
  • When the pumpkin has 10 minutes remaining, cut bacon into 1cm pieces.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook bacon until golden, 5-6 minutes.
  • Drizzle (or brush) each flatbread with olive oil and season with salt. Bake flatbreads directly on wire oven rack until heated through, 3 minutes. 
Finish & serve

  • Drain pickled onion.
  • To the bowl with cooled eggplant, add mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Toss to combine and season to taste.
  • Top each flatbread with smashed pumpkin, bacon, some eggplant salad and pickled onion.
  • Drizzle over garlic dip and serve with remaining salad. Enjoy!
