Aubergine and mushroom crumble recipe

Ingredients

Crumble topping:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 70 gms of butter
  • 50 gms of grated Gruyere Parmesan would work well too
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves

For the filling:

  • half a large aubergine cut into medium-sized cubes
  • 3 med/ large courgettes sliced on the diagonal always just so much prettier than a straight round disc cut
  • 3 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 2 large tomatoes skinned and roughly chopped
  • 125 grams half a punnet white button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme roughly chopped
  • seasoning
  • a splash of olive oil

Instructions

How to make this:

  • preheat the oven to 180 C
  • grease a 28-30cm pie dish or any other suitable sized oven tray (I like to have a fairly wide top so that the crumble is spread out quite thinly so that it gets nice and crunchy), or you could make this in individual ramekins
  • roast the courgette and aubergine for 15 minutes with a bit of olive oil
  • whilst that is roasting, skin the tomatoes and chop
  • make the topping by mixing all the butter and flour with your fingers, then add the other ingredients and mix lightly until it all comes together and a nice crumb is formed. If it is too dry add a few teaspoons of water
  • add the tomatoes to a bowl with the chopped mushrooms, garlic and thyme
  • add the courgette and aubergine and mix it all together
  • empty all the veg into the pie dish
  • sprinkle the savoury crumb mix over the vegetable mix to cover the surface and bake in the oven for 45 minutes and it's bubbling with a nice brown crumble top
  • I absolutely loved the concept, and the flavour of this dish was so French. My house smelt a bit like a little bistro. This is heartwarming comfort food at its best, and so many variations can stem from it.
  • Roasted red onions, peppers, leeks etc or even a  bit of bacon would work well.
  • A nice little splash of white wine wouldn't go amiss, and if not, certainly a glass to accompany it.

Notes

This dish is best eaten on the day.
