Grilled Aubergine With Feta and Mint Bundles

This dish can be served as a starter or alongside a lamb dish. But please note, this dish has to be made at the last minute or else they will go soggy.

• Ready In: 28 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 16-18 rolls

Ingredients

• 2  large aubergines
• 4  tablespoons olive oil
• 250  g feta cheese
• 1  bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
• 1  red chile, finely chopped (de-seeded if you want)
• 1  lemon, juice of
•  fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. First of all, wipe clean the aubergines, trim off the stalk ends and slice them thinly lengthways into 16-18 thin slices altogether.
2. Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with oil.
3. Pre-heat your grill/griddle to the highest setting, and when hot, cook the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side till they are golden and soft.
4. In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and add in the chopped mint, chopped chilli and lemon juice and season with black pepper (there is no need to add salt since Feta cheese is quite salty by itself) and give it all a good stir.
5. Place a heaped teaspoon of the cheese mixture along the centre of the aubergine slices and roll up each slice to form a bundle.
6. Place the overlapping ends down onto a serving plate, and sprinkle with a little more mint.
