Preheat the oven to 200C (180C Fan). Scoop the flesh from the cooled aubergines, discarding the skin. Add the aubergine flesh to the pan with the onion, then stir in the jerk seasoning. Stir until fragrant, then add the black beans, salt, and pepper. Stir again and transfer to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes until rich and thickened.
