Ingredients

  • 4 baby aubergine / brinjals (eggplant) cut into rounds or into quarters
  • 4 pattypans cut into rounds

  • Grease a baking dish.
  • Place brinjal / aubergine in dish.

  • I also like to add a bit of roasted cumin when seasoning this dish.
  • Layer pattypans over brinjals followed by layer of haloumi slices then the sliced pepper and again drizzle with some olive oil and seasoning.
  • Place tomato slices over peppers and finish layering with another layer of halloumi.
