Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Dice the eggplant and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Roast in the oven for 17 - 20 minutes.
Chop the onion and dice the carrot into 1cm chunks (see Tip). Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion with the carrot for 3 - 5 minutes.
Tip: be sure to dice the carrot finely, otherwise it will take longer to cook.
Stir in the vegan mince and the Middle Eastern-style spices, then crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Fry for 3 - 4 more minutes and then deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
Drain and rinse the lentils, then transfer to the frying pan along with the diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to reduce for 3 - 4 minutes over low heat.
Transfer half of the sauce to an oven dish and top with half of the eggplant. Cover with the rest of the sauce and then top with the rest of the eggplant. Dollop over the yogurt and season with pepper, then scatter over the cheese. Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden-brown.
Serve on plates.
Did you know… lentils contain more iron than all other pulses. Like spinach, they're also rich in fibre and pottasium. Potassium helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure.
