Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 garlic cloves (crushed)
2 tbsp olive oil
260g cans chopped tomatoes
3/4 tbsp tomato purée
2 small aubergines (cut into long, 5mm thick slices)
30g Parmesan , freshly grated
5g basil (leaves torn)
1/2 small egg (beaten)

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a shallow pan, mix together the garlic and 4 tbsp of the olive oil. Cook over a high heat for 3 mins, tip in the tomatoes, then simmer for 8 mins, stirring every now and then. Stir in the tomato purée. 2. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until very hot. Brush a few of the aubergines with a little oil, then add to the pan. Cook over a high heat until well browned and cooked through, about 5-7 mins. Turn them halfway through cooking. Lift onto kitchen paper and do the next batch. 3. When all the aubergines are cooked, lay a few of them in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then spoon over some sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and basil leaves. Add seasoning, then repeat this process with the remaining ingredients. Finally, pour the egg over the top, sprinkle over a little more Parmesan, then bake for 20 mins or until the topping is golden. 225 kcalories, protein 10g, carbohydrate 8g, fat 17 g, saturated fat 5g, fibre 5g, sugar 7g, salt 0.52g
