Method
To make the pickled cabbage:
Add the sugar, water and vinegar in a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the cabbage and seal. Leave to pickle for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place aubergine slices on a large baking sheet and rub both sides with oil. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, 30-40 minutes.
2. Whisk the garlic, mayonnaise and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Toss onions, herbs, capers and oil in a medium bowl to combine.
4. Spread cut sides of sourdough with garlic mayo. Build sandwiches with aubergine, feta, picked cabbage and salad.
