Roasted Halibut With Sichuan Eggplants Recipe

The flavor of the eggplant in this dish is based on the style of cooking found in the province of Sichuan in China. If you can find them, fiery Sichuan peppercorns — roasted and ground — give this dish its final hat. The pickled eggplants would also work brilliantly served cold with slices of rare roast beef or pink lamb. Adapted from "A Year in My Kitchen" by Skye Gyngell.
