Ingredients

Eggplant

2 large, (1kg)

Olive oil

1 tbs

Lentils, canned, rinsed, drained

240 g

Tomato(es)

1 large, chopped

Sultanas

¼ cup(s), (40g)

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup(s), chopped

Black olives, drained

Pine nuts

1 tbs, toasted

Haloumi cheese

180 g, cut into 4 slices

Wholemeal lebanese bread

200 g, (2x 100g rounds), cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat a chargrill or barbecue grill over medium-high heat. Brush eggplants with 1 teaspoon oil. Cook, turning occasionally, for 25–30 minutes or until skin blisters and eggplant is very soft. Set aside for 5 minutes. Peel and discard skin and coarsely chop flesh. Mash flesh in a medium bowl until a coarse puree forms. Cover with foil and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, combine lentils, tomato, sultanas, parsley, olives and pine nuts in a large bowl.
  3. Brush haloumi with remaining oil. Cook for 1–2 minutes each side or until golden. Divide eggplant among serving plates. Top with haloumi and lentil mixture. Serve with bread and lemon wedges.

Notes

TIP: To toast pine nuts, heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook pine nuts, stirring, for 1–2 minutes or until golden.
