1/2 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
Handful of dried apricots, roughly chopped

Handful of black olives, halved

Method

- Cook your quinoa according to packet instructions, and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, halve the aubergine, score the flesh, brush with the oil and top with a good grind of black pepper and sea salt.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, or until the aubergine flesh is golden and soft.
- Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place in a bowl.
- Add the cooked quinoa, tomatoes, olives, apricots and parsley to the aubergine flesh and combine.
- Gently toast your pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan for a couple of minutes, making sure they don't burn.
- Scoop back into the aubergine skins and top with the mint and toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Enjoy!
