  3. Prepare the aubergine. - - Peel the skin from the eggplants. - - Slice into 1/2 inches thick slices. - - Using a cookie cutter, cut out round discs.
  4. Do not discard any scrapes. You can bake them until they almost fall apart, blitz them in a blender with a touch of fresh lemon juice and olive oil to make eggplant puree. It goes well on a toast.*
  5. For 1 serving, you need 3 discs of eggplant. - - Lightly season the eggplant with sea salt. - - Transfer onto a wire cooling rack and let them sit for about 30 mins. - - This will draw out the moisture from the eggplant, thus removing the raw bitterness.

  8. Lightly dredge the eggplant into the flour mixture. - - Dust off any excess. - - Dredge into the egg. - - And gently drop the eggplant away from you into the oil.
  9. Pan fry until golden brown on both sides. - - Remove from heat and transfer onto a wire cooling rack or on a plate lined with kitchen paper. - - Repeat the process for the remaining eggplant. - - Lastly, pan fry the skins as well.

  11. Preheat oven to 180 degree celsius or 350 fahrenheit. - - Line parchment paper on a baking tray. - - Lay a piece of the battered eggplant onto the tray. - - Spoon the tomatoes sauce onto the eggplant.
  12. Tear a piece of mozzarella and place it on top of the sauce. - - Scatter the basil over the top. - - Repeat the stacking process of eggplant, sauce, cheese and basil. - - On the 3rd slice of eggplant, sprinkle some parmigiano over the top.
