Method

1. Take a lamb fillet and make a small hole through the centre of it. Cut feta into cubes, each 3cm x 3cm, sprinkle over a little dried oregano, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stuff the lamb with the feta mixture. Place in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.

Cut lamb fillet into the same size cubes as the aubergine and place on a metal or wooden skewer, alternating lamb and aubergine. Brush with the remaining oil and cook under a hot grill for 5 minutes either side.

3. For the salad, salad, cook the lentils for 20 minutes on a gentle rolling boil.
