Ingredients

• 1 red pepper, deseeded and quartered
• 1 aubergine, sliced lengthways
• 2 courgettes, sliced lengthways
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• For the mash
• 410g can haricot beans, rinsed
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 100ml vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp chopped coriander
• lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

1. Heat the grill. Arrange the vegetables over a grill pan and brush lightly with oil. Grill until lightly browned, turn them over, brush again with oil, then grill until tender.
2. Meanwhile, put the beans in a small pan with the garlic and stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins. Mash roughly with a potato masher, adding a little water or more stock if the mash seems too dry. Divide the veg and mash between 2 plates, drizzle over any leftover oil and sprinkle with black pepper and coriander. Add a lemon wedge to each plate and serve.
