Aubergine, Beef & Ġbejna Fatt...
Preheat oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6). Split open the pitta breads and cut them into nacho-sized triangles. Transfer the cut pitta triangles onto a baking dish and toast for 12 minutes. Set them aside.
Warm the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and cook the onion on low heat for 7 minutes, until caramelized. Lower the heat and stir in the aubergines and cook until soft. Add the paprika, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Add the minced beef and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Take off the heat and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, ġbejniet, tahini, lemon, garlic and salt. In a smaller saucepan, pour some water, enough to come up 3cm up the sides. When the water is simmering, reduce heat to low and place the yoghurt-filled heatproof bowl over the saucepan (bain marie). Using a whisk, beat well until the mixture is warm and smooth. Take off the heat.
On a large plate, arrange the pitta triangles and top them with the beef and aubergine mixture. Pour the yoghurt mixture over the beef and aubergine. Top with the cranberries, pistachios and mint. Serve.

Take a sharp knife and carefully go round the chicken leg bone, scraping off the meat from the bone and carefully pushing the meat away every time. Chop off the bone away right before coming at the jaw. Repeat for all 4 legs.
Take a mixing bowl, skin off the sausage meat, mix together with the sage leaves, parsley & cheese.
Push the sausage meat into the chicken cavity, rolling the skin over to cover the filling.
Take a Maggi So Juicy bag, and place the chicken into a roasting bag together with the onions & mushrooms. Dilute the spice mix from the bag with 150 ml water and pour over the chicken meat, wrap the bag with the baking tag and roast for 30 to 40 minute in preheated oven @ 175°C. Meanwhile prepare the risotto; chop the bacon and cook in a double bottom saucepan with the butter, allow to crisp. Next stir in the rice and leek, cook for a couple of minutes further. Splash in the wine, allow evaporation, continue cooking, adding the vegetable stock gradually allowing the rice to absorb the liquid and stirring occasionally. When rice is cooked, remove from the heat, crush the gbejna in and beat in together with the spinach leaves.
Serve the chicken sliced with the obtained sauce accompanied by the risotto.
