Roasted aubergine in tomato sauce topped with mozzarella

Ingredients

• Aubergine
• Carrot chopped small
• Leek or onion chopped small
• 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• Harissa paste
• 125g ball mozzarella
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Slice the aubergine in half lengthways, spread 1tsp harissa paste onto the slices and bake until soft, about 30 mins. Cover with foil if starts to get too brown.
Meanwhile sweat the veggies and garlic in the olive oil until soft. Any combination of veg will do.
Add tomatoes and half the tin again if water. Season and add another tsp of harissa paste and a pinch of chill flakes if you like some warmth. Simmer for 10 mins or so, then blend with a stick blender, smoothie maker or whatever is to hand.
Put the aubergine in an ovenproof dish (I did 2 seperate portions), pour over the sauce and top with sliced mozzarella. Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins until cheese melts.

    Delicious! A very filling meal, even though I only used a small aubergine. It was a bit too hot for my taste, I think I’ll only use two teaspoons of harissa paste next time. The cheese is the best part. I’m not a great cook but this was easy to cook, even for me.

    Really nice recipe.
    I did jazz with the sauce, more garlic orrigano and smoked paprika, with leek, celery and a pepper for the veg.
    did an aubergine per person, and half a ball of mozzarella each. At about 400kc. Really satisfying.
    Thanks!

    This recipe is easily adjusted for your own taste. I enjoyed my own version of this and didn’t use the harissa though I added some chilli to the sauce. The second time I made it, I also cut the aubergine across instead of length wise to make the slices easier to dish up.

    Loved this, but I don’t spicy, so I used tomatoe paste instead.

    Just finished this little gem. Decided on it because I had a surplus aubergine and leek. Didn’t blitz the sauce, but absolutely delicious and easy.
