  • 5 g spices

Preparation

  1. Cut the eggplants into 1 cm slices, salt them, let them stand for 15 minutes and pat dry.
  2. Fry the slices in the olive oil in batches until golden (classically they would be breaded – not here).
  3. Mix the passata with the garlic, salt, pepper and basil.
  4. Layer the eggplant, tomato sauce and mozzarella, finish with the Parmesan and bake at 180 °C fan (356 °F) for 30 minutes.
