Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC.
Cut the aubergines in half length ways and score quite deeply with a knife.
Peel and slice the garlic clove into thin slices and tuck into the scores of both aubergines.
Place them on a baking tray and drizzle them with the honey and sprinkle with the cumin.
Place in the oven for 20 mins, or until soft.
Scoop them out of their skins and place in a bowl and let them cool a little.
When they have cooled down to warm (not hot), scoop in the marscapone and blend with a hand blender.
Season to taste.
Serve with crusty bread or toasted pitas.
