How to make the recipe

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Halve the aubergines lengthways and score a crisscross pattern into the cut sides of each half, making sure you don’t pierce the skin. Put them in a roasting tin cut-side up. Drizzle with the oil and season with salt. Roast for 25 mins.

Step 2

Pour the Barbera Sauce over the aubergines, allowing it to fall into the roasting tin too, then scatter over the Mozzarella. Bake for another 10-12 mins, or until the aubergines are very tender and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 3

Chop some herbs and stir them through the brown rice. Serve the aubergines on top with a few extra basil leaves scattered over
