Ingredients

- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, halved
- a handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly torn to serve
LENTIL MINCE
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 400g tin green lentils, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp Marmite
NUTMEG YOGURT
- 8 tbsp unsweetened soya yogurt
- a pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- a drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Method
- STEP 1
Heat a griddle pan until hot. Brush the aubergine slices with the olive oil and griddle the aubergines for 5-6 minutes on each side until really soft and charred. Grill the tomatoes for 4 minutes, cut-side down.
- STEP 2
For the lentil mince, heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat and cook the onion for 2-3 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add the garlic, cinnamon, paprika and oregano, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, lentils, Marmite and 50ml of water, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- STEP 3
Spoon the lentil mince into bowls along with the aubergine slices and riddled tomato halves. Spoon over the soya yogurt and sprinkle with the grated nutmeg and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Scatter with the flat-leaf parsley.
