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.
