Make it happen

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 200°C fan. Prepare the vegetables to be stuffed: Score the aubergine flesh, brush lightly with oil and roast halves for 25 minutes; scoop out and chop the soft flesh.

  2. 02

    Cook any dry grains according to the packet instructions. Brown turkey or beef mince thoroughly where used, or warm the drained pulses in a pan with oil.

  3. 03

    Soften the chopped vegetables, garlic and spices, then stir in the cooked grain, meat or pulses and any tomato or spinach ingredients. Season well.

  4. 04

    Pack the prepared vegetable shells with filling. Scatter over feta or grated cheese and place in a lightly oiled baking dish.

  5. 05

    Bake for 15–25 minutes until the stuffed vegetables are tender, filling is piping hot and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
