Leave the oven on. Use the aubergine slices to line ramekin dishes, each about 175ml/6fl oz capacity. 3 The slices should overlap each other, leaving no gaps, and hang over the rim of the dish so that they can be used to cover and secure the caponata filling. 4 For the Caponata: Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook for a minute before adding the remaining vegetables and dried fruit. Cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes or until softened and lightly golden. 5 Add the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup or honey and raisins, and mix well to form a sweet and sour sauce. Finally add the pine kernels and season. 6 To combine, put a 1/2" layer of caponata into the aubergine lined dishes. Top with a piece of goats cheese followed by more caponata. 7 Fold over the aubergine slices to secure the filling and press down to ensure the filling is compact. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes, until just warmed through. 8 To make the Tomato Oil: Quarter the tomatoes and blend to extract the juice. Strain the tomato juice into a pan, add the garlic and thyme, and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced to half. 9 Remove from the heat, strain again and cool. Whisk the olive oil, season and add a pinch of sugar if necessary. This oil may be made 3-4 days in advanced and kept in the fridge.) 10 Carefully unmould the warm charlottes onto serving plates and garnish with rocket and diced tomato and a little tomato oil. Hint - as an alternative to goats cheese, why not use mozzarella? Recipe by: Fresh Food
