Ingredients
1
aubergine
1
large garlic clove, crushed
11/2tsp.
dried mint
1Tbsp.
extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
1Tbsp.
freshly squeeze lemon juice
1Tbsp.
runny honey
2Tbsp.
pine nuts
30g
feta, crumbled
Directions
Step 1Lay a large sheet of kitchen foil on a work surface, then place a piece of baking parchment on top. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) mark 7.
Step 2Halve the aubergine lengthways through the stalk and score the flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin. Arrange cut-side up in the centre of the baking parchment.
Step 3In a small bowl, mix the garlic, mint, oil, lemon juice and plenty of seasoning. Rub the mixture over the aubergine flesh, pushing it gently into the scored lines. Drizzle the honey on top. Bring the sides of the foil and parchment up around the aubergine halves and scrunch the edges together to form a sealed parcel.
Step 4Transfer aubergine parcel to a baking tray and roast for 35min, until tender. Carefully peel back foil and parchment, scatter over the pine nuts, drizzle with a little extra oil and return to the oven for 8-10min, until golden. Scatter over the feta and serve.
