Ingredients:
Number of portions: 4
2
large eggplants (aubergines)
Olive oil for frying
1
onion, finely chopped
2 Clove(s)
garlic, minced
800 Gram(s)
(28 oz) of canned chopped tomatoes
Handful(s)
fresh basil leaves, torn
250 Gram(s)
(9 oz) vegan cheese, grated (optional)
Acc. to taste
salt and pepper
Preparation:
Preparation time: 30-60 min.
- Begin by slicing the eggplants into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the slices in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess moisture and bitterness.
- After 30 minutes, rinse the eggplant slices and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet. Fry the eggplant slices in batches until they are golden brown on both sides. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Add more olive oil if needed in the same skillet and sauté the finely chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes and add half of the torn basil leaves. Let the tomato sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes until it thickens.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a baking dish, begin to layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of tomato sauce, a layer of fried eggplant slices, and a layer of Parmesan/ vegan cheese. Repeat this process until you've used up all your ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
- Bake the dish in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Garnish with the remaining torn basil leaves and serve your Melanzane alla Parmigiana hot. Enjoy!
