Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmigiana
- 2 -3 medium eggplants, thickly sliced, skin on is fine
- plain flour
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 cups red pasta sauce
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 teaspoons pesto sauce
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 8 basil leaves, finely sliced
- 250 g mozzarella cheese, sliced
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Preheat the oven to 200u0b0C.
- Dust the eggplant with flour, dip in egg and panfry in a non-stick pan in oil.
- Drain well on paper towels.
- Heat a little oil in a large non-stick pan and gently saute onion and garlic. Add pasta sauce, wine, pesto and pepper. Bring to the boil and boil for a few minutes to allow the liquid to reduce a little. Season to taste.
- Put some of the sauce in the base of an ovenproof casserole dish, top with a layer of eggplant, and then mozzarella and sauce. Repeat this process, finishing with a thick layer of sauce and a sprinkling of parmesan.
- Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes. If the dish has been pre-prepared, you will need to cook it for longer, probably 30-40 minutes.
- Serve with a simple green salad.
