1. Heat a large frying or griddle pan over a high heat. Brush the aubergine slices with oil. Season, then fry until browned on both sides, about 8-10 mins. Remove from heat, then tear or chop into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Griddle chops for 4 mins on each side for pink. To make the dressing, combine lemon juice, paprika and half the dill in a bowl.
3. Drizzle dressing over aubergine and toss. Divide between two plates and put chops on top, then scatter with pine nuts and the rest of the dill. Serve with salad and pitta bread.

For a spicy twist

Turkish Style aubergine: Combine 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp ground cumin, brush over aubergines and griddle. Mix a 200g pot Greek yogurt, a squeeze lemon juice, 1 tbsp mint sauce and a handful chopped mint. Season, then serve with the lamb, salad and pitta bread.

  Wasn't convinced about the aubergines cooking well this way and they didnt, they were very oily and tasteless. Wasted some good lamb in making this dish, very disappointing.
