How to create Feta Steaks with Filled Aubergine

1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. 
2. Slice the aubergine in half. Sprinkle the slices with salt and leave to drain on an angled cutting board for about 15 minutes.
3. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into strips and the feta into small cubes.
4. Grate the onion and mix with the minced meat, egg, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil and set aside.
5. Halve the cherry tomatoes and put them in a bowl. Coarsely chop the olives, squeeze the garlic, and add to the bowl along with the capers. 
6. Dab the aubergine with kitchen paper and scoop out the flesh until about 1 centimeter remains. Coarsely chop the flesh and mix it with the tomato mixture. Add a tablespoon of olive oil.
7. Grease an ovenproof tray, place the aubergine in it and fill with the tomato mixture. Brush with the remaining olive oil and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. 
8. Make 2 burgers from the minced meat. Create a small dimple in the middle and add some feta. Pan-fry them over medium-high heat until done. And your delicious, Mediterranean meal is ready!
