Trim and cut the aubergine and courgette into 2cm cubes. Halve the pepper and scoop out the seeds and white pith. Roughly chop the pepper. Peel and thickly slice the red onion. Cut each tomato into 6-8 wedges.

While the veg are cooking, tip the flour into a bowl with the fennel seeds, a pinch of salt, ½ tbsp oil and 85ml cold water. Stir together to make a dough, then turn out and knead for a few mins till smooth and firm. Cover and leave till you’re just about ready to serve.

After 30 mins, the veg should be softened and slightly charred. Put the garlic to one side. Leave the veg to cool slightly, then roughly chop it all - this is your 'caviar'. Pop in a bowl. Chop the parsley and basil leaves and set aside.Stir into the veg. Set aside.

Zest and juice half the orange. Squeeze half the garlic cloves from their skins and mash with the back of a knife. Spoon the yogurt into a bowl and add the orange zest, juice and most of the garlic. Taste and add more if desired.

Garlic Bread?
Wrap the remaining garlic in foil and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Spread a roasted garlic clove or two onto hot toast, stir into soups, stews or risottos. Incidentally, chewing parsley helps to freshen breath.
