Stuffed Aubergine Greek Style

Stuffed aubergine Greek style - pretty self-explanatory. Any questions?



Let's crack on with the ingredients:

You'll need:

- a large aubergine (surprise surprise!)
- 1 juicy tomato
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 100g feta cheese
- 1 dried red chilli crushed
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- lashings of olive oil
- salt and pepper

Serves: 2
Per person: 5 zl

Let's cook!

1. Prep your stuff. Oven up to 180 degrees.


2. Cut the aubergine into 2. Score 2 cm around the edge without breaking the skin. Score through the inside (again, without breaking the skin). Douse liberally with olive oil. Season. Press the rosemary on top - this will infuse a nice flavour. Pop into the oven for 20 minutes or until the aubergine flesh has softened.


3. Olive oil into a hot pan. Onions in. 5 minutes. Garlic and chilli in.


4. Cook the onions until starting to turn golden.


5. Tomatoes in, along with the herbs. Cook for 5 minutes.


6. Now then, time to get the aubergines out the oven! Scoop out the inside - leave 1-2 cm in the shell - don't break the skin!!!


7. Add the aubergine pulp to the tomato/ onion mix. Cook down for a couple of minutes.


8. Meanwhile, season the shells.


9. Crumble about half the feta into the bases.


10. Add the stuffing.


11. Put the remaining feta on top. Get it back in the oven for around 15 minutes or until the feta starts to slightly brown.


12. Enjoy with some bread!
