Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 390°F/ Gas 6
Boil half a kettle
Trim the green stalks from the aubergine[s] and cut it in half lengthways, then finely slice
2
Add the sliced aubergine (use baking paper to avoid it sticking) to a baking tray and add a generous drizzle of olive oil
Season generously with salt and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray in the oven for 15 min or until the aubergine has softened
3
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Chop the baby plum tomatoes in half
4
Heat a pot with a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped garlic and chopped plum tomatoes with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 min or until they've fully broken down
Add the dried oregano, tomato paste, a pinch of sugar and 50ml [75ml]boiled water and cook for 2 min or until thickened – this is your tomato pizza sauce
5
Drain and pat the mozzarella dry with kitchen paper (squeeze as much liquid out as you can!)
Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces
Pick the basil leaves from the stalks
6
Remove the softened aubergine from the baking tray and add the pizza bases
Divide the tomato pizza sauce between the pizza bases and spread it evenly all over them
7
Top the pizza bases with the torn mozzarella, softened aubergine and basil leaves
Sprinkle over the grated Italian hard cheese and season with a generous grind of pepper
Put the tray in the oven for 15 min or until golden and crispy – these are your aubergine parmigiana pizzas
