Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the roasting tin on the hob with 3 tbsp of the oil and cook the red onion for 5 minutes until softening. Stir in the aubergine, courgettes, spring onions, garlic, ginger and chilli flakes, then cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the tinned tomatoes, olives, dried oregano, most of the fresh dill and mint, then transfer to the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
Stir the prawns into the sauce, scatter the feta on top, then bake for a further 10 minutes until the prawns are pink and cooked through.

Add the reserved herbs, drizzle with pomegranate molasses and serve with lemon wedges, if using.

Pul biber (or aleppo pepper) is Turkish chilli flakes with a deep flavour but mild heat. Buy from Waitrose or online at souschef.co.uk.

Barrel-aged feta is stored for at least 3 months in wooden barrels. The cheese matures with help from bacteria and yeasts in the wood, giving the feta a creamy texture and rounded but punchy taste.
