Preheat your BBQ or preheat the oven to 160°C/Gas 4. 2. Score the flesh side of the aubergines and season with salt, pepper and brush with oil. 3. If using an oven, heat an ovenproof griddle pan and brush with extra oil. Bring to a high temperature. 4. In a bowl, mix together the vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup and flaked almonds. 5. Season then fold in breadcrumbs, followed by chopped herbs and mix together well. Set aside and allow ingredients to infuse. 6. Place the aubergines flesh side down onto the BBQ grill or a griddle pan and leave for 5 minutes, allowing time to take on colour. 7. Turn the aubergines over and position halloumi slices on top. 8. Spread breadcrumb and herb mixture over halloumi and bake in a closed bbq or in the oven for 20 minutes until browned and melting. 9. Serve with a crisp salad TOP TIP: Be careful not to overseason with salt as halloumi can be quite salty. Ingredients: • Slices of good quality bread - sourdough works particularly well • Butter • Leftover BBQ meat such as gammon • Selection of cheese; we used cheddar, stilton, brie • Walnuts • Chard and spring onions. Method: 1. Butter the sourdough slices, placing the buttered side on the outside of the sandwich add your leftover meat or charred chard and onions, top with cheese and add the top slice of bread. 2.
