Ingredients
 
 

  • 400 g potatoes peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1 aubergine (eggplant)
  • 225 g halloumi
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice ideally, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon clear honey
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 5 g fresh thyme leaves finely chopped
  • 100 ml milk

Instructions
 

  • Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for approximately 15-18 minutes (depending on the potato you're using). They should be fully cooked and tender.
  • In the meantime, cut the aubergine into slices about 1 cm thick. Cut the halloumi block into 8 slices.
  • Drizzle aubergine with oil and season with salt. Heat two non-stick frying pans (or griddle pans) on medium-high heat, add the aubergine to one and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the centre is soft. Add the halloumi slices to the other pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side until browned. Then remove from the heat and set aside until you;re ready to assemble the dish.
  • In the meantime, in a small bowl, mix the thyme, lemon juice, honey and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them with milk until smooth (if you wish, add a knob of butter too). Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • Divide the mashed potatoes between two bowls/ plates. Layer the aubergine and halloumi slices on top and drizzle everything with the honey and lemon dressing!
