Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Thinly slice eggplant into 1cm round slices. Place on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast in the oven until golden and tender, 15-20 minutes.
While the eggplant is roasting, finely chop garlic and brown onion. Cut tomato into wedges. Grate carrot.
When the eggplant has 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, onion and carrot, breaking the mince up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium high, then add Aussie spice blend, garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
Turn on the grill to medium-high. Transfer beef filling to a baking dish and evenly top with the roasted eggplant. Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Grill until lightly golden, 5-8 minutes.
While the pie is grilling, combine tomato, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season to taste.
Divide spiced beef and roasted eggplant pie between plates. Serve with garden salad. Tear parsley over the pie.
