Preheat oven or grill to 180C. Peel and chop onion. Cut zucchini and eggplant lengthways into thick slices. Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt. Zest lemon. Trim broccolini. Put a pot of water on to boil for step 3.

2 Cook Mince

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add onions and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add lamb mince and cook, breaking up mince, for 1-2 minutes. Add passata, and tomato paste spice mix. Cook for 5 minutes. The consistency of the mince mix should be thicker than bolognaise.

Tip! If the mix is drying, out add a few tablespoons of water.

3 Fry Eggplant and Zucchini

To another frying pan add a drizzle of olive oil. Heat on a medium high setting. Add the sliced eggplant and zucchini (you may have to cook in batches). Cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until brown but still slightly firm. Meanwhile, boil a pot of salted water then cook the broccolini for 3-4 minutes until tender and bright green.
