Ingredients

  • 6 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 T Woolworths harissa spice mix
  • 2 x 400 g cans cherry tomatoes
  • 8 baby brinjals, halved
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 x 400 g can lentils, drained and rinsed

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. Finely chop 6 cloves garlic and gently fry in ¼ cup olive oil until golden.

Add 2 x 400 g cans cherry tomatoes to the same pan and simmer for 20 minutes, then season to taste.

3. Meanwhile, fry 8 halved baby brinjals in 2 T olive oil in another pan until chargrilled on both sides. Remove from the pan and place in a baking dish, season and roast for 10 minutes until soft.

5. Serve with the brinjals and freshly torn parsley.
