Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
2 medium aubergines, sliced lengthways and scored
2 medium tomatoes, on the vine, halved
1 red pepper, halved and seeds removed
Drizzle of Smoked Garlic & Black Peppercorn Bread Dipper
Can of cannellini beans, drained
75g feta cheese
2 dsps of Chilli & Lime Mayonnaise, plus extra for serving
Handful of fresh breadcrumbs
Handful of chopped fresh coriander leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat the oven to 200C / 180C Fan / 400F / Gas Mark 6.
Place your aubergine, tomatoes and pepper halves in a roasting tin, drizzle with the Smoked Garlic Bread Dipper and bake in the oven for around 30 minutes, until the aubergine flesh has softened. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Once the aubergine has cooled scoop out the flesh and pop in a bowl, keeping the aubergine halves intact and ready to stuff. Chop the roasted tomatoes and pepper and add to the aubergine flesh. Add the cannellini beans, crumble in the feta along with the Chilli & Lime Mayo and season well. Give the mixture a good stir and use to load the four aubergine halves. Cover with breadcrumbs and a drizzle of Smoked Garlic Bread Dipper and pop back in the oven for a further 20 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden.
Serve with a good helping of Chilli & Lime Mayo, and a scattering of coriander leaves. We also like to serve this dish with a side of sweet potato wedges.
