Step-by-step
- Shave the fennel on a mandolin, then mix in a bowl with orange segments, juice and zest, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, olive oil and season well.
- Add the tarragon and stir well. Rub the aubergine wedges all over with 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil.
- Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the aubergine wedges and grill for 1-1½ minutes on each side, or until golden-brown griddle marks appear on both sides and the aubergine is tender. Set aside on a warm plate.
- Brush naan with oil and griddle on each side. To serve - toss the watercress and aubergines in dressing, then spoon on top of the bread.
