serves 4
ingredients
4 large white potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 aubergine, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
275g/10oz canned chopped
plum tomatoes
425g/15oz canned cooked
chickpeas, drained
25g/1oz green lentils such as Puy,

2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
flat-leaf parsley
25g/1oz mozzarella cheese,
finely grated
25g/1oz Cheddar cheese,

1 tablespoon boiling water

• Put the potatoes in a saucepan of salted cold water. Bring to the boil,
and cook until beginning to soften – do not cook completely. Drain and
set aside.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently sauté the aubergine until it
begins to brown. Turn and repeat on the other side. As each piece is
done, remove to kitchen paper.
• When the aubergine is cooked, stir the onion in the frying pan until
softened, but not browned. Stir in the tomatoes, chickpeas, lentils, garlic,
parsley and seasoning. Cook over a medium heat for 40 to 45 minutes,
or until the lentils are tender.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
• Mix the cheeses together. Add the boiling water to make a paste.
• When the tomato mixture is ready, spoon the remaining mixture over the
bottom of a large casserole dish. Cover with half the aubergine and add
another third of the tomato mixture. Layer on the remaining aubergine.
• Spread a third of the cheese mixture on to the aubergine. Add half the
potatoes, another third of the cheese and then the remaining potatoes.
Finish with the final third of cheese.
• Cover and bake in the middle of oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid
and bake for a further 10 minutes to brown.
