A cross between a lasagna and an aubergine parmigiana, this comforting bake does not need a white sauce or a mountain of cheese. Lentils take the place of mince, boosting the fiber, but you could add mince for a meaty flavour. You could even play around with swopping the aubergine for another veg, like zucchini or pumpkin. This rustic dish can handle a lot of customization.
