A twist on a classic lasagne by replacing the lasagne sheets with slices of eggplant.
1. Heat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over a high heat, and cook the eggplant slices for a couple of minutes on each side until nice and brown (you may have to do this in batches as it’s important not to crowd the pan).
2 Heat the remaining olive oil in a large sauté pan, then cook the onion over a medium to high heat for 2–3 minutes. Add the mince and sauté for 2–3 minutes to brown, then add the garlic, both tomato purées, basil and stock. Cover and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
3 Take a lasagne dish and line the base with eggplant slices. Spoon over half of the bolognese sauce, then cover with a layer of eggplant slices and repeat, finishing with a layer of eggplant on top.
4 Cover with foil, then place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, spray the eggplant slices on the top with a little oil and bake for a further 20 minutes.
Serve with a scattering of fresh basil leaves and a bright, fresh green salad.
Sun-dried tomato purée gives a slight natural sweetness that brings out the flavour of the eggplant. To make this dish gluten-free, use stock that’s free from gluten.
