Spicy brinjal with lentil pasta

1. Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil and cheese until emulsified and creamy. Season to taste.
2. Slice the marrows as thinly as possible using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin (you can’t do this with a knife, they have to be paper thin.)
3. Place the marrows in a large bowl with the rocket and basil and toss. Add the dressing and toss well again.
4. Lay the tossed salad onto a platter, or pile onto small plates and top with the avocado. Season and serve.
