Aubergine Parmigiana
Introduce
Chef :
Daniel LimAubergine Parmigiana
This is the 2nd dish which I had served for the lunch event at The Simpler Living. I was browsing thru' my recipe repertoire for a suitable side after the egg and cheese dish, but couldn't find any. Somehow or rather, this dish just popped into my head. My theme is to cook something very simple with the use of mainly vegetables; I dislike the way how some restaurants over-charge customers with fanciful seafood, caviar or truffles. Great food doesn't have to be expensive and fancy. It just needed to be done right, don't you agree?

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Prepare the tomato sauce.
* Step 2
As soon as the garlic turns light golden brown, remove from heat and transfer into a blender.
* Step 3
Prepare the aubergine.
* Step 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.*
* Step 5
For 1 serving, you need 3 discs of eggplant.
* Step 6
While the eggplant slices are sitting, finely julienne the skins into fine strips.
* Step 7
Mix to combine well.
* Step 8
Lightly dredge the eggplant into the flour mixture.
* Step 9
Pan fry until golden brown on both sides.
* Step 10
Once they start to crisp up, remove from heat and sit on a wire cooling rack or on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
* Step 11
Preheat oven to 180 degree celsius or 350 fahrenheit.
* Step 12
Tear a piece of mozzarella and place it on top of the sauce.
* Step 13
Repeat the process for the remaining eggplant.
* Step 14
Bake for about 10 to 15 mins or until the cheese has melted.
* Step 15
Sprinkle some dried basil over the top.
