INSTRUCTIONS

Thinly slice the aubergine and slice the courgettes lengthways.

for about 40  seconds, then plunge into cold water. Using a sharp
knife, peel off  the skins.  Finely chop the onion. Crush the garlic.
In a l;large saucepan, heat  two tbsp of olive oil, add the garlic and
cook until coloured, then  add the onion and cook gently until
softened. Add the tomatoes and  sugar, bring to the boil, then simmer
for 40 minutes, uncovered to  allow the sauce to reduce. Season with
salt and pepper and add a few  basil leaves. The sauce should be thick
and concentrated.  Rinse the aubergine and courgettes and pat dry. Dip
the vegetables in  flour and set aside.  Whisk the eggs in a bowl and
add the parmesan cheese. In a frying pan  heat the oil. Dip the
aubergines and courgettes in the egg mixture  and fry until golden on
both sides. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper  and set aside. Preheat
the oven to 190c/375f/gas 5. Slice the  mozzarella cheese.  Assemble
the dish by layering the ingredients in a 20cm  spring-release cake
tin. Place a third of the aubergines in the  bottom, add half the
courgettes and a third of the cheese, tomato  sauce and basil leaves.
Then add a layer of aubergines, cheese,  tomato sauce, basil leaves,
remaining courgettes, cheese, tomato  sauce, basil leaves and finally
aubergines. Sprinkle over parmesan  cheese and bake in the oven for
20-26 minutes until golden brown.  DISCLAIMERÂ© Copyright 1996 -
