Miso Aubergines

These have quickly become a new addiction, I think I am making nearly once a week, they are so quick to prepare and perfect as a main on their own or as a side to protein. I love to top mine with the classic Japanese toppings of black sesame seeds, spicy schichimi togarashi and cripy onions, all of which are available from the supermarket or amazon.
