In breve
The dish in short
- Long aubergines, trimmed, sliced lengthwise and salted, then fried a few at a time in plenty of oil.
- Drained for about an hour after frying, so the dish does not swim in oil.
- Layers of aubergine, tomato sauce cooked with onion and basil, cubes of fior di latte, basil leaves and Parmigiano.
- Finished with tomato and Parmigiano only, baked at 200 °C until the top is crisp, and served warm.
