Ingredients
- 1 large Essential Aubergine, halved lengthways
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 100g Essential Easy Cook Long Grain Rice
- 1 Essential Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small Essential Red Pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp harissa paste
- 12 mint leaves, shredded, plus extra to serve
- 50g Essential Greek Feta, crumbled
- 265g Essential Mixed Salad
- 4 tbsp Essential Greek Yogurt
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Put the aubergine on a parchment-lined baking tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Roast for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to pack instructions
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and pepper, then fry for 8 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and harissa, cook for 1 minute, then combine with the mint and rice, stirring well.
Use a spoon to scoop the flesh from the aubergine, leaving the skins intact. Roughly chop the flesh and stir into the rice mixture, then divide the mixture between the aubergine skins. Top with the feta and return to the oven for 5-8 minutes, until the feta starts to brown. Season the yogurt to taste. Serve the aubergines with the salad and seasoned yogurt.
Cook’s tip
Next time, try swapping the rice for different cooked grains – lentils, bulgur wheat, pearl barley or spelt would all work well.
