Recipe by Niki Webster. Rebel Recipes by Niki Webster is out now (Bloomsbury Absolute, RRP £26). Photos: Kris Kirkham. This dish has everything I want – sweet, sticky and slightly salty miso-roasted aubergine on a bed of creamy coconut rice with crunchy green beans and topped with crushed roasted peanuts and fresh herbs. It’s pretty special. Inspired by Thai and Japanese flavours, it’s a combination that makes a light yet impressive dinner.
