Lentils with grilled aubergine from Plenty (page 116) by Yotam Ottolenghi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This recipe was a lot of work and dishes for what was in the end very ordinary lentils. Wouldn’t make this again. Not sure what I did wrong - the roasted carrots/celery never quite roasted (I guess the 140 C that it called for was too low?).

    This is just alright. A fine side salad, but nothing extraordinary.

    We found this not that exciting, not a repeat.

    Added the extra half onion to the roasting vegtables which worked really well. Finally managed to cook the lentils to perfection. Really enjoyed it and healthy.

    Fairly easy. Fine but nothing to get excited about.

    Brilliant. Tasty lentils with or without aubergines.

    Made this last night, and enjoyed it greatly. I grilled the eggplant over a gas burner until the skin was blackened then finished it off in the oven (figured that since the oven was on anyway for the vegetables I might as well use the energy). I added some bok choy to the vegetable/lentil mixture at the last moment for a bit more greenery. I'll make this again.

    Very good! The lentils cooked as described in this recipe had a wonderful flavour. I also found it very filling, we will be making this again and again I am sure. If the aubergines are not big I would suggest adding an extra one.

    A very good recipe. The roasted tomatoes and carrots go well with the lentils and spice. The dish is a favorite of our (vegetarian) daughter with the grilled aubergine for dinner. But if we are out of aubergine the lentils are equally good as a side dish and in the lunchbox the next day.

    Ottolenghi does a particular good job using citrus to punch up vegetables, and dairy to make them feel a bit more luxurious...this is a good example of his style, and it's a fabulous weeknight dinner.
