Eggplant Parmigiana

Tender layers of eggplant, basil-scented tomato sauce, bubbling mozzarella, and savory Parmesan baked into one richly comforting dish. It is rustic, generous, and every bit as satisfying as a meat-centered main.

  1. 1

    Slice the eggplants into roughly 1 cm rounds. Salt them lightly and let them sit for 20 minutes, then pat dry.

    Heat the oven to 220°C. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and roast for 20 minutes, turning once, until tender and golden.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, cook the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until softened. Add the tomatoes and half the basil, then simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce is fragrant and concentrated.

  4. 4

    In a baking dish, layer tomato sauce, eggplant, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a few basil leaves. Repeat, finishing with sauce and Parmesan.

  5. 5

    Bake at 190°C for 25 minutes until bubbling and well browned on top. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
