Healthy, tasty starter or side dish which is a breeze to make and will bring all the flavors of Italian summer veggies also to a wintery menu. Plus points: it's vegetarian! Meat lovers: add parma ham or an anchovy fillet on top for added flavor.
Ingredients (4 people)
2 large purple aubergines
1 jar of tomato sauce (not marinara sauce, only tomato and basil! alternatively you can easily make your own by slow-cooking a can of peeled tomatoes in olive oil with a garlic clove)
2-3 mozzarella balls, finely sliced
fresh basil or oregano (dried or fresh)
olive oil
salt
1. Slice the aubergines in 5mm thick slices.
2. Fill a large saucepan with water, bring it to a boil, and throw the slices into the water to quickly cook - take them out when they're tender, but still firm. Drain them on kitchen paper.
3. Arrange the slices, with a few cms between each other, on a baking tray covered in baking paper. drizzle them with olive oil and salt to taste, and put a teaspoon of tomato sauce on each one, then a slice of mozzarella, then finish with a small basil leaf or some dried oregano.
4. Cook for about 15 minutes in the oven, heated at 180°C.
Enjoy!
