2 aubergines, cut into 1cm thick slices or 9 baby aubergines, halved
3 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
Flatbreads
500g self-raising flour and extra for rolling
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
500g full fat yoghurt

Method
To make the meatballs, cook the onions in 2 Tbsp butter for about 10 minutes or until soft and starting to go a little caramel in colour. Spoon onto a plate and leave to cool. Mash the soaked bread lightly with a fork (do not overbeat it). Mix the cooled onion and bread sauce with the rest of the meatball ingredients.
You can test to see if the seasoning in the meatballs is correct by microwaving or frying a teaspoonful of the mixture. Now roll ping pong ball-sized balls with the mix (you should get about 30 out). Leave to rest until the other elements are ready. To cook, heat the butter and oil in a large pan and cook the meatballs for about 5 minutes on a side or until brown all over. Set aside.
To make the sauce, give the pan a quick wipe with a paper towel and then add the oil or butter to the pan, along with the flour. Stir until it resembles a paste. Whisk in the stock and then keep whisking until thicker. Add the cream, sauce, mustard, and thyme and season well.
To make the flatbreads, mix all the ingredients together well. The dough should be hard enough to roll out but not too hard. If the dough is too hard, add extra yoghurt (or if it is too soft, add extra flour – 1 Tbsp at a time).
Knead for 5 minutes, then break into 12 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece out into an oblong shape that is about 5mm thick. You can either cook the flatbread in a dry non-stick pan or cook them over medium coals for about 4 minutes on a side or until a little charred and brown. Set aside until ready to serve.
To make the aubergine, season well with salt and pepper and toss with olive oil. Either cook them for about 4 minutes on a side on a griddle pan and then roast them for 20 minutes at 180oC in the oven or cook them over medium coals for about 8 minutes on a side – turning and checking them constantly until tender.
Toss the salad ingredients together and serve the flatbreads piled high with meatballs, sauce, aubergine, and salad.
