How to make Grilled Fattoush with Halloumi and Aubergine

Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Grill spring onions and jalapeño, turning once, until lightly blistered and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes for spring onions and 4 minutes for jalapeño. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.

Slice open jalapeño and scrape out seeds (unless you like things very spicy); discard. Coarsely chop chilli and spring onions. Mix in a medium bowl with olives, pistachios, lemon juice, vinegar, and 5 tablespoons oil; season dressing with salt and pepper.

Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Mix thyme, sesame seeds, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Lightly coat pitas and aubergines with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and rub with thyme mixture. Grill, turning occasionally and moving to a cooler part of grill if needed to avoid scorching, until pitas are golden and crisp and aubergines are browned and tender, 5 minutes for pitas, and 8–10 minutes for aubergines. Transfer to a platter and let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, grill Halloumi until charred and soft, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with pitas and aubergines.

Tear pitas and Halloumi into chunky pieces, then cut aubergines into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and add cucumbers, tomatoes, and dressing. Give everything a good toss to bring it all together; season with salt. Top with mint leaves and dill sprigs.
