Ingredients

2 small aubergines, cut into thick steaks,
1 tbsp rapeseed oil,
plus 2 tsp.
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves,
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated,
½ lemon,
1 large red pepper, deseeded and sliced,
2 leeks,
well washed and thinly sliced,
2 tbsp flaked almonds,
1 tbsp tomato purée.
¼ tsp vegetable bouillon powder,
1 tsp apple cider vinegar,
100g bag rocket,
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Arrange the aubergine slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Mix the tablespoon of rapeseed oil with the thyme and garlic, brush over the aubergine and bake for 40-45 mins until the aubergines are tender when tested with a knife.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan and fry the pepper and leeks for 5 mins until softened. Add the almonds and cook for 5 mins more. Tip in the tomato purée, 5 tbsp water, the bouillon powder and vinegar and cook briefly to warm the mixture through.
