Melanzane Parmigiana

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 20 - 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 large brinjals
3 T olive oil
1 x 200 g packet ready-made cheese sauce
200 g packet readymade tomato sauce
Parmesan
Bread

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Slice large brinjals lengthways into 2 cm thick slices, then pan-fry in hot olive oil for 2 minutes a side.

Season, then layer in a large ovenproof dish, dividing a packet of ready-made cheese sauce and a packet of ready-made tomato sauce between the layers.

Top with grated Parmesan, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve with lots of crusty bread.

Cook's note: here's a recipe for mock Parmesan if you are avoiding dairy.
