Baked Aubergine with Spinach and Melted Cheese


This yummy vegetarian dish is fast to make and is satisfyingly filling with cheese, spinach and in-season aubergine.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 aubergines (approx 200g each)
  • 200g pre-cooked spinach
  • 3 tsbp flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 100g pecorino cheese, grated
  • 400g italian tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 2 mozzarella balls, drained and sliced
  • 4 tbsp italian olive oil
  • 1 ciabatta bread, sliced, drizzle with olive oil and toasted on a griddle pan
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Cut the aubergines in half, place them on a baking tray and cook them in a pre-heated oven of 180c for no longer than 15 minutes. Once ready – allow them to cool out of the oven.
  2. Scoop out the inside of the aubergine using a tablespoon creating a hollow cavity but make sure the skin is still intact and place the aubergine insides in a large bowl. Add in the chopped spinach, the parsley, the Pecorino cheese and the chopped tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and 2 tbsp of olive oil and mix well.
  3. Stuff the aubergines with the mixture and place them on a baking tray. Place the mozzarella on top, drizzle with the remaining oil and bake in a pre-heated oven of 180c for approximately 15 minutes until they are golden and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately with some warm crusty bread.
