Tender slices of aubergine rolled into ricotta-stuffed parcels baked with homemade tomato sauce

For 4 people

  • 4 aubergines

  • 1 onion

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 250 g ricotta

  • 1 waxed lemon

  • 50 g parmesan

  • olive oil

  1. Slice the aubergine into strips of about 5 mm thick. Place the strips on a tray with baking paper. Brush them with olive oil on both side. Add salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes on a preheated oven at 210C.

  2. Peel and chop the onion. Peel and chop the garlic.

  3. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Add the garlic, the tomato can, 1 teaspoon of sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let cook for 20 minutes in low heat.

  4. In a bowl, stir together the ricotta, lemon zest, and salt and pepper. Taste and adjust.
