Answers:
Eggplant Stack
Stand Aubergine on bottom and remove skin thinly on front and back (widest part of veg)
Slice aubergine in thin-med slices
Heat olive oil in large fry pan (I use non Stick with lid)
Pan fry Aubergine slices on one side (5 mins approx)
In microwave dish heat the following: Fresh or dried basil, garlic and favourite mixed herbs in can of crushed tomatoes- add salt or pepper
Slice haloumi, mozzarella or tasty cheese
Turn Eggplant slices over, cover with hot tomato sauce, top with cheese and put on lid while cooking!. (5 mins approx)
Serve as a side dish or turn into main by layering with other pan fried vegetables, sauce, top with cheese and pine nuts/parsley
Alternative: cook in oven and grill to brown cheese
