- Preheat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6 and boil a kettle.

- Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Turn halfway through cooking.
- Heat a dry large saucepan and pour the millet in before the water. Toast the millet for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in 400ml boiling water, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan with 1/2 tablespoon oil and add the garlic and aubergine and cook for 7 minutes until the aubergine has softened. Stir in the spinach, chopped tomatoes, honey and remaining harissa and cook for a further 5 minutes; season to taste.
- Drain the millet and stir through the remaining chopped parsley.
- Spoon the parsley millet onto a plate, serve alongside the aubergine sauce and top with the pork meatballs.
