Method

  1. Heat a griddle or frying pan until very hot. Brush the aubergine with a little oil and griddle or fry in batches until soft and cooked through. Arrange on a platter.
  2. Mix together the lemon and garlic with 5 tbsp olive oil and some seasoning, and drizzle over the aubergine. Let the flavours meld together for 5 minutes, then scatter the feta and herbs over and serve.

GI Assessment

This uses low-GI ingredients and the lemon juice to push levels down. If you want to do even better, keep the aubergine as raw as you can, rather than cooking it until it's very soft.

    I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and so I am on a mission to eat as healthily as I possibly can, and use mainly low GI foods. This dish was absolutely delicious, and perfect for me. I added red onion and replaced the coriander with mint, pretty much like Gwen. It was wonderful and will be making again.

    really enjoyed this. I didn't chop my herbs enough so it didnt look as nice as the picture but that me I always rush things. Love my new griddled pan - nearly used a normal pan - would have spoilt it - the appearance is as impressive as the taste.

    Good dish!! I cooked this to use up a solitary aubergine and a small chunk of feta left in the fridge. I didn't have any lemon so used jif lemon (lol) and I added dried herbs as didn't have any fresh. It was still v tasty and I fully intend to do this again.

    The feta cheese made this dish for me but I discovered I am not that big a fan of garlic... All in all a nice dish, the mint idea sounds tasty for next time!
