  1. Aubergine

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Aubergine slices on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until softened and turning golden, 12-15 minutes (shifting halfway). Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  2. LAMB MINCE

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  3. SAUCY MINCE

    Add the diced Onion to the pan and fry until soft and turning golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 30-60 seconds. Pour in the tomato passata and 100ml of water. Simmer until slightly thickening, 5-6 minutes. Add seasoning and a sweetener.

  4. SOME PREP

    While the sauce is simmering, smear the ricotta onto the Aubergine slices and gently roll them up.

  5. DINNER IS READY

    Make a bed of the saucy mince and top with the Aubergine roll ups. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and garnish with the rinsed oregano leaves. Look at you, Chef!
