This is from The Silver Spoon. It's a fairly simple recipe but has worked very well every time I've tried.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -5 aubergines (Eggplants)
500 g chopped fresh tomatoes (seeded and de-skinned)
1/2 bunch fresh basil
50 g parmesan cheese
100 g mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
1 dash olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut Aubergines into slices.
  • Salt the Aubergine slices for about an hour and then dry off.
  • In the meantime, cook up the tomatoes, oil and basil with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the tomatoes are cooked, pass them through a sieve to strain out into a paste (I sometimes leave this bit out and have the 'bitty' tomato sauce).
  • Fry the aubergine slices until they start to brown and pat them with kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.
  • Whisk the eggs.
  • Dot butter on the bottom of the oven dish
  • Layer the aubergine with tomato sauce, mozzerella, parmesan and a thin covering of the egg until it is all used up.
  • Put a layer of the whisked egg on the top (it just has to be a little).
  • Cook in the oven at about 200C for 30mins.
