Recipe of the week: roasted aubergine traybake • If you are entertaining, what you need is a recipe that requires very little active time in the kitchen, says Tim Spector. And this traybake fits that brief. You can assemble it in advance and then pop it in the oven 40 minutes before you plan on serving it. The garnishes make the dish look like a showstopper and increases its “plant score”, giving you lots of polyphenols and a boost of fibre.
