Melanzane parmigana

Preheat the oven to 180°C

Slice the aubergines into 1 cm circles. Heat a large griddle pan until smoking hot and dry grill the aubergines in batches until golden brown on all sides.

In a large baking dish, place a layer of griddled aubergines, cover with the tomato sauce and add some ripped basil. Sprinkle over some Italian Rub and add some grated parmesan cheese. Repeat until you have 3 layers.

For the top layer add some ripped buffalo mozzarella, a grinding of black pepper and place in the oven for 30 minutes or until the mozzarella is golden brown.
