    Are you sure I roast the aubergine for 5 mins and not 50 mins?

    This is one of my favourite lunches to take to work. I roast halved shallots with the veg and use halved mini mozzarella balls instead of the feta because they go nice and gooey when microwaved. Pesto is a tasty addition if there's a bit left in a jar!

    Really nice, but make sure you don't crumble the feta too fine - otherwise it just melts and dissolves!
