This recipe is great for grazing and mopping up with bread. Packed full of dietary fibre, vitamins B1, B6 and potassium, aubergines are often recommended for those managing type 2 diabetes and managing weight concerns.
Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Next get a baking dish (we used 20x30cm) and tip in the tomatoes, coconut sugar, pinch of salt and a few grinds of salt. Stir together, give a little taste and if needed adjust the seasoning.
Take the aubergine and using sharp knife slice each half of aubergine about halfway deep in a diagonal pattern. Be careful not to cut through the skin!
Brush the olive oil on the aubergine, add the minced garlic and seasonal well with salt and pepper.
Place the aubergine on the cherry tomatoes, cut side up, and pop into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes or until the aubergine feels tender spread evenly (over each half of the aubergine) one tablespoon (or two if you like) of the tapenade and add some of the crumbled goats cheese.
Place back in the oven for further 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden and has melted
Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
