2.Arrange aubergine in single layer on 1 prepared pan. Bake until aubergine is tender and golden, about 50 minutes.
3.Grate cauliflower using box grater or food processor into couscous-size pieces. Arrange in single layer on other prepared pan. Bake until lightly golden, about 35 minutes. Turn into medium bowl. Add stock and, if desired, ground nutmeg. Mash lightly; set aside.
4.Heat olive oil in large skillet and cook onion and garlic over medium heat, stirring frequently, until onion is almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in walnuts, spices and tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Stir in cherry tomatoes, Maille Dijon Mustard water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in additional water if sauce is too thick. Stir in aubergine.
