Harissa Lentils & Aubergine
  1. Slice 1 onion and place in a bowl with red wine vinegar, set aside.

  2. Chop aubergine into chip style slices and set aside.

  3. Peel and grate ginger and dice other onion, place in a large pot with olive oil and cook on a medium heat until onion has softened.

  4. Add harissa paste and stir through, then add aubergine and stir again until aubergines are all coated in the harissa.

  5. Add the tinned tomatoes then fill each tin once empty with water and add the water to the pot. This helps to clean the tin better for recycling and also the water helps to soften the aubergine.
