Method

  1. Trim the stalks from the aubergines, then cut each into 6 slices lengthwise. Lay them in one layer on a grill pan and lightly brush with oil and a little seasoning. Grill until lightly browned, turn them over, brush with oil again, then grill until browned and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan, add the onion and gently fry until softened. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 mins. When the aubergines are cool, spread half the slices with a little soft cheese and cover with the remaining slices to make sandwiches.
  3. Spread half the sauce over a shallow ovenproof dish. Arrange the aubergine sandwiches, overlapping, over the top and pour over the remaining sauce. Sprinkle over the crumbs, then grill until browned.

    I'm cooking for one so only used 1 aubergine but made the same quantity of tomato sauce as the recipe and included a clove of garlic. Loved it warm on day 1 and cold with salad on day 2. Will definitely make again and may follow some of the recommendations, like a touch of chilli in the sauce.

    I enjoyed this recipe, but agree that it did need tweaking. I used it as a means of using up left-overs in the fridge. griddled aubergine and red pepper slices and popped in the oven to further roast whilst I prepared the sauce. The sauce needed a few additions to make it worthwhile. Also wilted down spinach into the tomato sauce. Then layered alternate aubergine (spread with Boursin) and red pepper slices with spinach tomato sauce in between to fill the dish. Topped with breadcrumbs and mozzarella. An experiment which paid off, but can only mark as 4 stars as I think the recipe as it was would have been a little dull.

    Loved it, tastes so good and filling. However this really shouldn't qualify as easy or quick with the amount of pans you need to use and switch, it also looked really unimpressive. After it finally being done I just had one small taste, not expecting much. An entire aubergine later I finally managed to stop and leave some dad. I used spreadable goat's cheese and that added such a nice flavor and sticking the whole thing in the oven after having already been half cooked made it so soft and melt-in-mouth. Big fan of aubergines and tomatoes and cheese so gonna do this again for sure.
