Method
- Preheat the oven and grill. Brush the aubergine slices on each side with 2 tbsp olive oil. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they begin to char. Remove from the grill and cut into 1cm pieces.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Add the chopped tomatoes, lemon juice and mixed herbs. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce becomes a thicker consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mix the aubergine, prawns, mozzarella and two-thirds of the parsley into the sauce. Spoon into an ovenproof dish and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling.
- Meanwhile, prepare a vinaigrette for the salad. Mix 3 tbsp olive oil with the white wine vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss the salad leaves and remaining parsley together with the dressing and serve alongside the baked prawns.
