Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large eggplants, cut in 1 cm slices
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
8 ripe tomatoes, peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
300 g goat's cheese, grated
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Put the eggplant slices in a colander, salt well and leave for at least half an hour until they sweat, to remove the bitterness. It will also prevent them from absorbing too much oil while cooking.
  • Rinse with cold water, dry with kitchen paper and lay on a baking tray.
  • Brush the slices on both sides with the olive oil and grill on the highest shelf in the oven for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • Heat the onion and garlic in 2-3 tablespoons of water in a large frying pan, add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of oil and stir.
  • Add the oregano and thyme, season and simmer (at 3 on a scale of 1-9 or at 1 on a scale of 1-3) for about six minutes or until the sauce thickens a little.
  • Remove from the hob and add the fresh herbs (parsley, basil).
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Lightly oil a deep baking dish (about 30x22 cm), add a layer of eggplant and sprinkle with half the cheese.
  • Then add a layer of sauce, continue with the rest of the eggplant slices and then the rest of the cheese.
  • Add the rest of the sauce and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
