Ingredients

  • 200g lentils
  • 150g brown rice
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g aubergine
  • 20g harissa paste
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • fresh mint

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and aubergine, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Loosen the harissa with lemon juice and brush it over the protein before cooking. Swirl a little extra harissa through the yoghurt to serve.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the courgette and aubergine for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and green lentil, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh mint.
