This modern take on a beloved Mediterranean dish demonstrates how Italian canned tomatoes can serve as a versatile and flavourful base for nutritious, vegetarian-friendly creations honoring both regional tastes and individual preferences.

Ingredients:

• 400gof Italian canned whole peeled tomatoes
• 2 large aubergine, sliced into rounds
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 60 ml olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• 240 ml béchamel sauce (or substitute with a vegetarian béchamel)
• salt and black pepper to taste
• fresh parsley to garnish

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly brush the aubergine slices with olive oil and roast until golden and tender.

Meanwhile, in a pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until soft.

Add the canned tomatoes, crushing them slightly, along with the cinnamon, cumin, salt, and pepper. Leave to simmer for 15 minutes to create a rich sauce.

In a baking dish, layer the roasted aubergine with the tomato sauce, creating multiple layers. Pour the béchamel sauce over the top to cover the layered vegetables.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
