Method
1 Heat two teaspoons of oil in a saucepan and cook the onion until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic and leek and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the peppers, canned tomatoes and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Add beans and thyme, and season.
2 Preheat the grill until hot and preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C Fan/Gas 4. Brush the aubergine slices lightly on each side with the remaining oil. Grill for a few minutes on each side until tinged golden brown.
3 Put half the aubergines in the base of a 2 litre ovenproof dish. Cover with half the vegetable mixture, then add another layer of aubergines followed by more mixture.
4 Whisk together the egg, yogurt and half the cheese. Season and spread on top of the dish. Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and cook in the oven for 45 minutes until the top is crispy and browned. Although this is a meal in itself, you could serve it with a crisp, green salad with tomatoes.
