In a large pan dry fry the aubergine and courgette slices in batches and add oil after about 2 minutes of cooking on each side to get some colour and to slightly crisp them up

Remove the slices and put them on a plate to one side

Add the onion and garlic to the same pan with olive oil and saute for 5 minutes

Add the spices, vinegar, tamari, seasoning and saute for another minute before adding the mushrooms

Allow to cook down for 10 minutes, before adding the lentils

To a baking tray layer the courgette and aubergine slices, mushroom and lentil mixture, grated cheese and passata until everything is used up

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes and serve
