METHOD
Preheat a ridged grill plate or barbecue.
Slice each eggplant into about 6 rounds 1-1½ cm thick. Brush both sides with oil and place on the hot grill. Season and cook until tender but not falling apart. Set aside to cool.
Filling: Set aside 1 tablespoon of the walnuts and place the remainder in a food processor along with the garlic, coriander, cumin, fenugreek and the chilli flakes. Blend to a thick paste. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse to combine. Season.
Sauce: Put the yoghurt and garlic in a bowl and whisk in the tahini and lemon juice to taste. Season and stir in the coriander.
To assemble: Spread a layer of walnut paste on each slice of eggplant. Top with a slice of capsicum and fold in half. Arrange on a platter and scatter over the extra herbs and walnuts. Serve the sauce separately. Makes 12 roll-ups
