Baked aubergine with tomato, basil and mozzarella

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Cut the aubergines into 1 cm rounds, lay them on two baking trays, brush with the oil and roast for 20 minutes, turning once, until soft and golden.
  2. Crush the garlic and stir it into the passata with the oregano and a pinch of salt.
  3. Spread a little passata in a baking dish. Layer in half the aubergine, half the remaining passata, some basil leaves and half the mozzarella. Repeat.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, until bubbling and golden on top.
  5. Scatter the pine nuts over for the last 3 minutes.
  6. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then serve with the rocket and the rest of the basil.

Tip Roast the aubergine slices on two trays so they brown, not steam. Let the bake stand before serving so the layers hold.
