ROASTED EGGPLANT AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place eggplant, zucchini, onion and mushrooms in a 2 quart casserole dish. In a small bowl combine the tomato paste with the water, and stir in garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and mix well.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until eggplant is tender, stirring occasionally. Add water as necessary if vegetables begin to stick; however, vegetables should be fairly dry, with slightly browned edges.

AUBERGINE, TOMATO & PARMESAN BAKE (MELANZANE ALLA PARMIGIANA)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a shallow pan, mix together the garlic and 4 tbsp of the olive oil. Cook over a high heat for 3 mins, tip in the tomatoes, then simmer for 8 mins, stirring every now and then. Stir in the tomato purée.
• Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until very hot. Brush a few of the aubergines with a little oil, then add to the pan. Cook over a high heat until well browned and cooked through, about 5-7 mins. Turn them halfway through cooking. Lift onto kitchen paper and do the next batch.
• When all the aubergines are cooked, lay a few of them in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then spoon over some sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and basil leaves. Add seasoning, then repeat this process with the remaining ingredients. Finally, pour the egg over the top, sprinkle over a little more Parmesan, then bake for 20 mins or until the topping is golden.

MUSHROOM, MOZZARELLA & AUBERGINE PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Peel the aubergines and mushrooms, and cut them into thin slices. Salt them and put them into a colander to drain for an hour or two.
• Dust them with flour, fry them gently in oil, and drain them on kitchen paper.
• Put a little oil in the bottom of a roasting dish or deep cake tin. Put in a layer of the aubergines and mushrooms, and cover with thin slices of mozzarella and then the tomato sauce. Continue in this way until they're are all used up. Cover with the grated Parmesan and sprinkle oil over the top. Cook at 180˚C (gas mark 4) for 20-30 minutes.
• If making your own tomato sauce: Heat 6 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan. Add several sliced cloves of garlic, depending on how garlicky you like it, and after about 30 seconds add 750g of chopped, skinned ripe tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes, finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
