\"\"<\/a>What’s interesting about the random ingredient generator<\/a> is its propensity to reflect everyone’s mood, the weather, the seasons, even the time of week. I imagine if it was done at the end of the week the answers would be all steaks and burgers. Last night was oats and capers and avocados and celeriac. Healthy – even, whisper it, austere, food – but inherently warming too. Last night might have been the most number of ingredients from the generator that I’ve managed to use – aubergine<\/a>, anchovy<\/a>, and sourdough<\/a>. Not wildly ambitious, but henceforth each week I shall endeavour to beat it.<\/p>\n

I have no idea what happened to the header. The border seems to have shunted it off – any suggestions?<\/p>\n

Serves 2<\/span><\/p>\n

A large aubergine
\n2 pieces of sourdough bread
\nHalf a clove of garlic
\nA ball of mozzarella
\nA few anchovy fillets
\nA little chopped red chilli
\nFlat-leaf parsley
\nHalf a lemon
\nSalt, pepper, olive oil<\/p>\n

– Preheat the grill to high. Slice the aubergine into long shards, season with salt and pepper, and fry in oil for a few minutes on each side until well charred and cooked through. Grill the bread for a couple of minutes on each side, then rub one side with garlic and a little olive oil.<\/p>\n

– Lay the aubergine over the bread, break over the mozzarella and add a few anchovy fillets, pulled apart a little if you like. Season with pepper and a flick of olive oil and pop back under the grill for a couple of minutes. Serve with chopped chilli, a few parsley leaves and a squeeze of lemon.<\/p>\n

A shout out to Debbie Powell<\/a> for her gorgeous design, and to the Grubworm<\/a> for helping me get it on the site.<\/p>\n
