Instructions

Roast the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the aubergine lengthways, keeping the stem attached. Score the flesh deeply (in a criss-cross pattern), taking care not to cut through the skin.
When the potatoes have been roasting for about 8 mins, add the aubergine halves to another baking tray, cut-side up. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper, then roast on the top shelf for the remaining potato cooking time until tender, 22-25 mins.

Fry the Pork
3

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once hot, add the pork mince and cook until browned, 5-6 mins.
Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Make the Ragu
4

Stir the garlic, Italian style herbs, passata, chicken stock paste and sugar for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) into the mince.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is very thick, 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, pop the hard Italian style cheese and breadcrumbs into a medium bowl. Season with salt and plenty of pepper, mix well, then set aside.

Stuff your Aubergines
5

Preheat your grill to high.
Using a tea towel, hold the stem of a roasted aubergine half with one hand, then use a spoon to gently scoop out the flesh whilst keeping the skin intact. Repeat for the other halves.
Roughly chop the aubergine flesh, then add to the ragu and combine well. Spoon the ragu mixture back into each aubergine skin so all halves are filled.
Sprinkle over the cheesy breadcrumbs, then grill until golden, 3-5 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

When ready, plate up your stuffed aubergine parmigiana with the mini roasties alongside.
Serve with the pea shoot salad drizzled with the balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
