The sun is shining and this aubergine and harissa bake is a great mid-week dinner to cook when you need to rustle up something quick. We've added fresh mango to this bake which adds a sweet flavour that pairs perfectly with the harissa paste. Mixed with creamy aubergines and sun-dried tomatoes, it is topped with plant-based feta and fresh, crisp jalapeños. Served on top of giant cous cous you can also grab some flatbread if you fancy.
