Harissa Feta Salad
Harissa is a hot, aromatic chilli paste made with fragrant spices and garlic. It adds instant depth and warmth to soups and stews, and is widely used in Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. We've used it here to offset the tangy creaminess of the feta cheese.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Boil a kettle (used in step 3)
Slice the aubergine(s) into 1/2cm thick discs
Peel and slice the onion(s) finely
Chop the coriander and mint finely and cut the feta into 2cm squares
Place the aubergine on an oven tray
Add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to the tray and coat well
Season to your taste with pepper
Put in the oven for 20 min or until both sides have turned golden brown, turning the aubergine halfway through
Add the freekeh to a pot of water and bring it to a boil
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 min, or until cooked but still with a slight bite
Drain the freekeh and set aside (used in step 7)
Meanwhile, add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to a pan over a medium-high heat
Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat and add the onion to the pan
Cook for 3-4 min, or until golden brown and set aside
Meanwhile, add the harissa and chopped mint to the feta in a bowl
Toss well to make sure the feta cubes are fully coated in harissa and mint
Tip: If the mixture is too dry to work with, add 1-2 tsp of olive oil to loosen the harissa paste
Combine the cider vinegar and 1-2 tbsp of olive oil in a small bowl
Whisk with a fork to form a dressing
Season to your taste with salt and sugar
Add the freekeh, dressing, and coriander (save a pinch to serve) to the onion
Toss the salad well
