Aubergine Parmigiana
with crunchy croutons and melted mozzarella
Aubergine parmigiana is a classic Italian dish that hails specifically from southern Italy. It's such a classic, in fact, that it dates at least as far back as the 1300s. Astounding then, that the very same recipe remains just as sought after—and scrumptious—today.

Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Cut the aubergine lengthways into ½ cm thick slices. Sprinkle the slices generously with salt on both sides and place in a colander. Let the salt soak in.
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly tear the basil leaves.
2
- In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, onion, balsamic vinegar, chopped tomato, passata, half the dried Italian herbs (double for 4p) and half the basil.
- Add ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p). Season well with salt and pepper.
- Roughly tear the brioche buns into 2cm chunks.
- Add the torn brioche to a bowl with 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3
- Spread 4 tbsp flour (double for 4p) over a large plate along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pat the aubergine slices well with kitchen paper and scrape off the salt.
- Coat the slices in the flour.
4
- Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry half the aubergine slices until golden brown, 4-6 mins. Turn over halfway through.
- Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
- Repeat the same method with the remaining aubergine slices.
- Tear the mozzarella into small pieces.
5
- Cover the base of an oven dish with a little tomato sauce.
- Place one-third of the aubergine slices on top and spoon over one-third of the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with one-third of the grated cheese and one-third of the mozzarella.
- Repeat with the remaining aubergine, tomato sauce, mozzarella and grated cheese.
- Spread the croutons over the top and bake in the oven for 10-15 mins.
6
- Divide the aubergine parmigiana between plates.
- Garnish with the remaining basil.
