Cut the top off the aubergines and cut them lengthways into slices about 5mm thick. Paint them on each side with olive oil and season them. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together with some salt and pepper. Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Cook the aubergines to get a good colour on each side, then turn the heat down so they can cook through. Put the aubergines on a plate and dress, while still hot, with the vinaigrette. These are best if you leave them to soak up the dressing for a few hours, then serve at room temperature.
