1 Slice into the brinjals, leaving the tops still intact, to make a fan shape.

2 Heat a large pan and add half the olive oil. Fry the brinjals until golden brown on both sides, seasoning with salt and pepper. Place in an ovenproof dish.

3 Preheat the oven to 200°C. To make the sauce, heat a saucepan and add the remaining olive oil. Fry the onion over a medium heat until it begins to soften and caramelise slightly.

4 Add the spices and oregano and fry for 1 minute, then add the garlic and chilli and fry for another few minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then pour in the tomatoes. Break them with a wooden spoon to make a chunky sauce. Sprinkle in the sugar.

5 Simmer for 10 minutes, then pour over the brinjals. Crumble over the feta, top with the mozzarella and cover with tinfoil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the brinjals are soft and cooked through when pierced with a knife. Uncover and grill until golden brown. To serve, spoon over the basil pesto and top with torn basil leaves.
