Description

This middle eastern inspired main is a flavour-packed and way to eat your veggies.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Place the eggplant halves flesh side up on a baking tray and cut the centre out carefully with a sharp knife, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Use a spoon to scoop out the insides and set aside. Brush the eggplant boats with olive oil and roast for 20 minutes.

Step 2 of 4

Heat the rest of the oil in a large pan on medium heat, chop the insides of the eggplant into cubes and add to the pan with the onions. Cook for 10-12 minutes, add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 3 of 4

Stir in the harissa and lentils and mix well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, add half of the chopped mint and stir through. Scoop the filing into the eggplant boats, top with crumbled feta and bake for 6-8 minutes until golden.

Step 4 of 4

Serve with the rest of the fresh mint scattered on top.
