Baked layered brinjal with ham

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

500 g medium brinjal
85 ml olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 garlic cloves, crushed
125 g wafer-thin chargrilled ham, torn
Basil leaves a handful
2 x 200 g Woolworths ready-made Napoletana sauce pouches
1 cup finely grated Parmesan

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.

2. Slice the brinjal very thinly lengthways. Moisten with olive oil, season and smear with the garlic.

3. Layer the brinjal alternately in an oiled baking dish with the ham, basil leaves, Napoletana sauce and Parmesan. Repeat twice, ending with sauce and cheese. Cover with baking paper and bake for 45 minutes or until the brinjal is very tender.

Cook’s note: Leave out the ham if you prefer a vegetarian dish.
