Method
- Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until hot. Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with oil; season. Griddle in batches for 6-8 mins each side until really soft, golden and charred in places.
- Whisk the pesto with the lemon juice to make a spoonable dressing.
- Toast the bun halves in the griddlepan. Spread the mayonnaise over the bases, then add rocket. Top 4 of the griddled aubergine slices with goat's cheese and 1 tbsp of the pesto dressing. Sandwich with another aubergine slice, then pile them into the buns and spoon over more dressing. Finish with the bun lids, securing with a wooden skewer, if you like.
- Tip: To make this recipe gluten-free, swap the burger buns for Tesco Free From 4 white rolls.
