Lighter aubergine parmigiana

Roasted, not fried. Fried aubergine drinks its weight in oil and this version tastes the same for a third of the calories - the beans underneath are what make it a dinner rather than a side.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 220 °C. Slice the aubergine 1 cm thick, brush lightly with oil, roast 20 minutes turning once.
  2. Make the sauce: onion in the remaining oil, garlic, then tomatoes, 10 minutes.
  3. Stir the drained beans into the sauce.
  4. Layer aubergine, sauce, torn mozzarella; repeat, finishing with parmesan.
  5. Bake 20 minutes at 190 °C. Rest 10 minutes before cutting or it slides apart. Keeps three days.
