In celebration of World Hunger Day on the 28th May, I have challenged myself to create this delicious eggplant recipe that comes in below the poverty line – at just 33pence / 45cents per head to support the MyVoucherCodes/World Hunger Day campaign, helping people lift themselves out of poverty as well as raising money for the charity World Hunger Project.
If you are looking for more gourmet options rather than being stuck on this budget friendly version, then use some homemade tomato pasta sauce with fresh herbs and olive oil instead and replace the yoghurt topping with a creamy Parmesan sauce as the original recipe has recommended.
Can you put together a delicious and healthy dish for just 33p a head? Challenge your frugal cooking skills, help spread awareness and raise money for charity by signing up here.
Eggplant Fans with Yoghurt
90cents / 66pence
|
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Cut the eggplants in half, keeping the stem end intact. Place an eggplant half, flesh side down, on a work surface. Use a sharp knife to cut 6 long slits from below the stem to the base. Use your hand to press down on the slices to form a fan. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
- Divide the tomato sauce among 2 baking dishes. Place the eggplant fans on top. Cut tomato into 10 slices lengthways. Place a slice between each eggplant slice. Sprinkle with the garlic and thyme. Drizzle each with one teaspoon of sunflower oil. Bake, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for 35 minutes or until the eggplant is golden and tender.
- Season the yoghurt with salt, pepper and thyme leaves. Divide the eggplant fans among serving plates and spoon over the yoghurt.

Deliciously summery!
Cheers,

I have made similar dish before with eggplant and tomatoes but I like your take which is even easier - roasting both the eggplant and tomatoes together. My version: I actually roasted the eggplant first, then added the cooked eggplant into a pot of cooked tomatoes.
This is another beautiful creation, Angie. I love it! ^.^
It's amazing! Such cheap, simple but beautiful and delicious meal!
this is what I call summer food:) I like the way you have served it!
It looks wonderful! I'd die to give it a try! Thanks for sharing!
Amazed at the price of this dish. I think it can be so easy to spend money on dishes, but this looks like it would cost a lot more. Love the idea of fanning the Aubergine, I've never tried that before, I shall have to now! Great recipe :)
Wow looks very appealing and yummy
Good for you, Angie. A delicious dish, easy to make and low in cost. I love eggplant!
Lovely dish, Angie! I love eggplant and the way you served it fan style, looks fabulous!
This is a great idea for a very good cause Angie. It looks delicious and amazingly cheap!
What a great cause and recipe Angie! Love eggplant and have been dreaming of baba ganoush but this will work for me!
What a great dish for a great cause. I would never realize this was so budget friendly. I love how you've presented the eggplant. It may not always be easy but it goes to show you can eat well and beautifully even on a budget.
Pretty and delicious! YUM.
It's hard to believe this beautiful dish is so inexpensive to put together, Angie! I adore eggplant! And this dish is luscious! : )
I love the concept of this Angie - such a beautifully elegant and healthy dish for just pennies!
yumm, very artistic too
One stone two birds, Angie. The idea is not only frugal but also lovely.
I love eggplants and these look delicious Angie!
this is so fun and inventive, not to mention tasty! bravo, angie!
Love this beautiful dish and the wonderful cause! I adore eggplants and it sounds amazing with the tomato sauce and yogurt.
That must be very delicious!! I like how you fanned the slices.
I would like to try this fan recipe for a change from my usual recipe.
Angie, your eggplant looks delightfully delicate and beautiful :)
Budget friendly and cool shaped?? I love it! This eggplant looks wonderful!
This would be perfect for Spring! I just pinned it to try it later!
A very successful challenge as usually vegetables do not look so amazing on a budget. Love eggplants in a tomato sauce.
I made something similar (with soft cheese) and I know how good it is. Friendly to the pocket and delightful to the taste buds!
Yum!
33p? What a delicious way to spend it Angie and what a great cause. Bravo to you!
Looks delicious. This is a good cause. Food is so expensive today.
What a beautiful dish and so good for all of us. Vegetables are so important in one's diet and so many people don't know how to use them!
Angie , I think my Chinese-style steamed eggplant is cheaper , I just steamed slices of eggplant then add in the finely chopped garlic , ginger and spring onion after 20 minutes . Okay , steaming cost electricity or gas which is also expensive nowadays *sigh* Love your budget-friendly yet very appetizing dish !
This is such a stunning meal!
Great job. This dish looks amazing and delicious.
Nice challenge Angie and for a good cause, the dish looks so appetizing, the eggplant fan looks so beautiful..
So beautiful! My hubby won't eat eggplant (among other things!), but I'd happily make this just for me!
Oh interesting way of preparing eggplant! Great idea to add yogurt and it looks really scenographic! I have never prepared it in this way. Brava!
jolie recette bien appétissante
bonne soirée
I love eggplant but hardly ever make it because the kids don't like it that much. This looks fabulous and I could just make one for myself. Goes to show you can eat really well on a budget.

We often overlook the beauty of budget veggies. Your dish looks so appetizing, Angie.
This is a beautiful dish for a great price! The fan shape of the eggplant is so pretty.
