2 Tins of Chopped Tomatoes
1 Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp. Tomato Puree
Mozzarella
Parmesan
Fresh Basil
Quality Olive Oil
Salt
A pinch of sugar

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees & line two trays with baking paper
Thinly slice the aubergines and dip in olive oil
Line the aubergines onto the trays and sprinkle with a good amount of salt. Place in the oven until golden brown.
Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Dice the onion and cook on a low heat with a glug of olive oil & salt
Add the chopped garlic, tomato puree & stir.
After a few minutes, add the tinned tomatoes
Once the sauce has thickened, it is ready. Here you can add a pinch of sugar to reduce the acidity.
Now its time to layer the aubergine parmigiana in an oven dish. Firstly, apply a layer of tomato sauce, then aubergine, mozzarella & basil. Repeat the process. Finally, top the aubergine parmigiana with a generous sprinkle of parmesan.
Cook in the oven for around 20 minutes, until golden.

Enjoy!
