Cooking Steps
Get prepped Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the eggplant into bite-sized chunks. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people), season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the lemon into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt, Turkish sumac seasoning and a squeeze of lemon juice, then season with salt.
TIP: Adding enough olive oil ensures the eggplant will cook in time!
Season the half chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken, skin-side down first, until browned, 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to a second lined oven tray, then spread 1/2 the sumac yoghurt mixture over the chicken. Roast until cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
When the eggplant is done, thinly slice the brown onion. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the roasted eggplant and the water and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, then cook until reduced, 3-4 minutes. Add the butter and stir to combine. Season to taste.
While the onion is cooking, thinly slice the radish. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves. Roughly chop the roasted almonds. In a large bowl, add the radish, mint, almonds, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of red wine vinegar and olive oil. Season and set aside.
Drizzle the flatbreads with olive oil and season. Wipe out the frying pan and return to a mediumhigh heat. Working with one at a time, cook the flatbreads until golden and warmed through, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a serving plate.
Toss the radish salad. Slice the lemon yoghurtroasted chicken. Roughly chop the parsley. Crumble the cheese (see ingredients) and sprinkle the parsley over the eggplant. Bring everything to the table to serve. Help yourself to the chicken, radish salad, braised eggplant and flatbreads. Serve with the remaining sumac yoghurt and any remaining lemon wedges.
